Line 22:
* In the manga version of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', Chrono has a dream in which he's standing on a battlefield littered with bodies, and Aion holds out an outstretched hand and urges him to come. It reflects Chrono's troubled past and foreshadows flashbacks we get to see in later volumes.
* In ''[[Princess Tutu]]'', Ahiru has a dream in the beginning of each season. The first one is later revealed to be a flashback showing how Drosselmeyer chose her to be the titular [[Magical Girl]], while the second season shows her dancing with Mytho—only to be shocked when he performs the ballet mime for "death" and transforms into Fakir. {{spoiler|This foreshadows Fakir slowly becoming her main love interest, and probably relates to his backstory as well.}} There's several other dream sequences that either foreshadow coming events, or relate to a character's current problems.
** ''[[Princess Tutu Abridged]]'' plays the first one (mostly) straight but the second seems [[Erotic Dream|slanted towards the sexy]] and is more blantent with the imagry. In this, Ahiru (Duck) is heading towards Mytho and is about to take his hand before Fakir snatches it, pulls her away, lifts her chin up, runs his finger over her lips and closes them and leans in for the kiss and Duck wakes up. She is quite upset, being the Mytho fangirl she is, about dreaming of Fakir.

* The third episode of the OVA ''[[My Dear Marie]]'' consists entirely of these.
* Yuichi in ''[[Kanon]]'' briefly has one of these while actually still awake after {{spoiler|briefly snapping when Mai appears to have committed suicide. But he can't hold onto it and returns to reality, and things... get better somehow. Magic!}}
* ''[[Mysterious Girlfriend X]]'', at least its earlier issues, would periodically have short dream sequences or immense panoramic dream panels. Fans miss them...
* Not really a dream, but ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' had "Tamaki Inner Mind Theatre". The anime had a straighter example with Haruhi taking a trip [[Alice in Wonderland|Down the Rabbit Hole]] complete with Ouran characters taking the role of various Wonderland characters.
