* Subverted beautifully in ''[[Northern Exposure]]'', "Spring Break". Joel remarks during his erotic dream of performing Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistable" surrounded by the trademarked Palmer powerclones that he always wakes up before the good bit.

* One episode of ''[[Father Ted]]'' featured Ted in an [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[Ballykissangel (TV)|Ballykissangel]]'', only without the [[Will They or Won't They?]] between Father Peter and Assumpta; Ted and Assumpta definitely were, when he was woken by Father Dougal to offer him a peanut. Ted shouted at Dougal, went back to sleep, and had a nightmare where he was being chased by a giant peanut.

* In ''[[The Nanny]]'' Fran is having the beginnings of an erotic dream about Maxwell, and she is woken by her mother. She goes back to sleep immediately afterwords. She later had to check if she was asleep, when Maxwell quoted the dream verbatim.
