Line 68:
* Used to clever effect in ''[[FoxTrot]]'', where Paige experiences a standard "falling" dream. Midway through, she realizes that it's a dream, and concludes that she'll wake up before hitting the ground. Sure, enough, she does. The last panel has her realizing she was right... as she falls out of bed.
* ''[[Little Nemo]]'': Given how often the title [[Pajama-Clad Hero]] wakes up suddenly from his dreams (sometimes falling from the bed), he's a regular user of this trope.
* Fiendishly subverted in ''[[
* In the ''[[Batman]]'' story ''Going Sane'', a normal-looking, reformed and amnesiac Joker has frequent nightmares of [[Bad Dreams|bats and clowns trying to drown him in madness]]. He would wake up from these dreams and yell "drowning!"
* ''[[Little Ego]]'', being a parody of ''[[Little Nemo]]'', always has the heroine waking like this. However, in Ego's case, she is not waking from a nightmare but instead an [[Erotic Dream]].
