Line 22:
* Buttercup has dreams in ''[[The Princess Bride (novel)|The Princess Bride]]'' which upset her enough to make her want to call off her wedding to Prince Humperdinck. The film gives her just the one, but in the book she has bad dreams for a good week.
* In ''[[Felidae]]'', Francis the cat has a highly disturbing dream that symbolises the motive behind the murders he's investigating. He still has to do some more conventional investigation to work out what the dream ''means'', though.
* In [[John C. Wright]]'s ''[[Hermetic Millenium|Count to a Trillion]]'', Menelaus, owing to his mental modifications, can consciously think while dreaming -- whichdreaming—which still leads to this.
* In [[Barbara Hambly]]'s ''Ran Away'', [[Benjamin January]] dreams of his dead wife asking where Sabid is -- whichis—which causes him to consider whether Sabid might actually be in New Orleans, making trouble again for the same man he attacked years ago.
* In [[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]] Jeremy clockson has this happen while working on the glass clock. He wakes up to find his sheets and wall covered in diagrams and notes.
* In [[Michael Flynn]]'s ''[[Spiral Arm|Up Jim River]]'', Donovan, in his drugged sleep, realizes a few things (on top of getting his soul pieced back together).

== Live-Action TV ==
* [[Twin Peaks]]--Agent—Agent Cooper has an iconic dream early on in which the victim whispers the name of her killer. He immediately forgets it, however, and it's a while before he is able to remember.
* In an episode of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'', as I recall. The not-so-good doctor had a dream which gave him the key to resolving his latest case (it also involved him wearing a catheter which ruptured, but that had more to do with his own issues at the time).
** They've used it again. Although in this case, you can't be sure if he just hadn't put the facts together or if he was actively in denial. {{spoiler|After all, who wants to remember that they got their best and only friend's girlfriend in a bus accident?}}
Line 54:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Jays Journey]]'', [[Ms. Fanservice|Gaia]] has a dream where everyone in the dream (save Gaia herself) repeats something said earlier in the game, which lets Gaia see how selfish she's been, and why Carol's been acting so cold to the man she previously loved. And to get an opportunity to repeat all the game's [[Running Gag|Running Gags]]s in quick succession.
