Line 3:
''But all I remember, are the dreams in the mist
''These dreams, go on when I close my eyes
''Every second of the night, I live another life.''
|'''Heart''', "These Dreams"}}
The images are slightly blurred, the music has harps or ominous over-tones, and might be shot from a first-person perspective. The last word of every sentence echoes (echoes, echoes). Yep, your character is having a Dream Sequence. Expect the action in this dream sequence to be a thinly disguised look at the dreamer's internal dilemmas—their rocky romances, the choices they are facing, the regrets they've left behind, yes, the Dream Sequence is an excellent excuse for a short-term excursion into a character's head.
Line 71 ⟶ 72:
* ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'' had more than its share of dream sequences.
* ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'': Silly dream sequences were often seen.
* There is also the episode of ''[[
* In ''[[The Tenth Kingdom]]'', Virginia and her father have an extremely bizarre and disturbing example of this, complete with [[Spirit Advisor|the ghost of Snow White]] doing her level best to snap them out of it. Christine's usage of the poisoned comb on her little girl's hair is particularly chilling, while the weird Electra-complex suggested by Virginia being Tony's wife (not to mention Wendell the dog as her brother--{{spoiler|or is that [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone|prophetic?]]}}) are just plain odd. But what do you expect from something inspired by eating magic mushrooms? Of special note (something which appears throughout the miniseries) is the emphasis on the decidedly more grim aspects of fairytales...
* A common form is for the dreamer to slip into the world of whatever they were researching or watching when they nodded off. Expect an [[Identical Grandson]]. ''[[MacGyver]]'' got sent back to the [[The Wild West|Old West]] twice, and to Arthurian Britain.
