Line 17:
* [[Dangerous Windows]]: The Snake Man breaks in through a window to grab Buddy.
* [[Dream Spying]]
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: The Snake Man.
* [[I Know You're Watching Me]]: It becomes clear to the scientists secretly observing Alex through a two-way mirror that he knows what's going on when he writes "Let's get on with it" on his side of the mirror in pen... especially since he writes the letters backwards so that those on the other side can read it.
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Played straight with Buddy; in the President's dream, {{spoiler|the kids trapped in the ruins aren't just dead, but ''mutilated'' to [[Body Horror]] levels}}.
* [[ItsIt's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It]]: Alex's rationalization for covertly inserting himself into Jane's dreams to make her think she was having a sex fantasy about him, rather than making out with the real life person. The fact that she enjoyed herself doesn't negate the fact that he just basically raped her ([[Mind Rape]]?), as she was in no position to give informed consent.
* [[Mind Over Matter]]: Minor telekinesis is among the range of [[Psychic Powers]] Alex displays over the course of the film. It never becomes the [[Chekhov's Gun]], and stays an [[Informed Ability]].
* [[Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot]]: When a subject is killed in the real world by dying in the Dreamscape, Alex starts to realize he's in over his head... what he doesn't know is that {{spoiler|the government is training his rival, Glatman, to assassinate people in their sleep}}.
* [[Monumental Damage Resistance]]: During a recurring nightmare the President of the United States is experiencing, a partially destroyed Capitol building is seen in the ruins of Washington, D.C., after it was ravaged by nuclear war.
* [[Never Sleep Again]]: Tommy Ray Glatman assassinates people by using his psychic abilities to enter their dreams and kill their dream selves.
* [[Or Was It a Dream?]]: The train conductor is the same man in both trains, both in the dream and in the real world.
* [[Our Presidents Are Different]]: President Target, at least where dreams are concerned; in the real world he's more President Iron.
* [[Partial Transformation]]
