{{quote|'''Chuck:''' I have so many questions. My mind wanders.

 

 

If a work has one [[Heartwarming Moments]] but is otherwise not particularly heartwarming, post it to [[Heartwarming Moments|that page]]. [[Your Mileage May Vary|Sometimes]] related to the other [[Fetish Fuel|kind]] of [[Erotic Dream|sweet dreams]].

 

Highly recommended to drop by this page if you've been over at [[Nightmare Fuel]] and plan on sleeping.

 

{{examples}}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0 The World Is Just Awesome.] An ad... for the world, adventure, innovation, science, happiness, and life.

** And the [[Discovery Channel]].

 

* A lot of the works of [[Osamu Tezuka]] are full of Sweet Dreams Fuel, especially ''[[Astro Boy]]'' and ''[[Unico]]''. However, his work tends to have just as much of [[Nightmare Fuel|the other side]] as well.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. Any moment that shows Evangeline [[The Woobie|isn't really as evil as she wants people to think]], and any of the goofing-off arcs (especially the Summer arc right after Mahorafest).

** Any scene with Osaka in it. Yes, even the [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant|creepier ones]]. If you think she isn't adorable, you're either lying or you haven't seen enough of her personality yet.

*** "Do you like Taiyaki pastries, Chiyo-chan?"

** A single chapter, any chapter, in the evening is enough to make the day better. The publication of a new chapter makes my week.

* ''[[Bottle Fairy (anime)|Bottle Fairy]]'' (no, not ''[[Bottle Fairy|her]]''!)

** Speak for yourself. This troper has had many sweet dreams about [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Misato Katsuragi.]]

* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. I love it ''because'' it's cute. Both the manga and anime just make me feel so gooey inside.

** Unfortunately, [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|the flashbacks]] of the [[Darker and Edgier]] sequel make it much harder to enjoy the simple happiness of the lighthearted original. Damn you, CLAMP! Damn you to ell

*** Mind you the {{spoiler|original couple only made an appearance to help Tsubasa's Sakura and Syaoran, they aren't related (well not by blood anyways)}}

* [[Girl Friends]]! The [[Gayngst]] and [[Will They or Won't They?]] may be agonizing at times, but that only makes every little moment Mari and Akko have together sweeter.

* Although ''[[Mushishi]]'' has its moments of [[Nightmare Fuel]], its overall effect is incredibly relaxing, especially Travis Willingham's dub work as Ginko.

* The first three episodes of [[There She Is]].

** And the awesome, [[squee]]worthy finale of Step 5

**** [[Take a Third Option|Why not both?]]

***** Just thinking about that show is enough to brighten my day!

* ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'', a [[Slice of Life]] movie about a loving family consisting of two young sisters, an attentive father, and a mother who is sick in the hospital (but getting better). And the furry, friendly supernatural critters the girls befriend.

* ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]''. An adorable young witch in a wonderful coming-of-age story, ''three'' loving mother characters, a surprising and beautiful change of pace when Kiki spends the night with Ursula, [[Scenery Porn]] worthy of the Louvre, and a heroic rescue at the end. And a cat romance. The whole movie is like the cup of hot coffee/chocolate Osono gives Kiki when they meet.

* ''[[Ponyo]]''. One of the few times I walked out of a theater actually feeling uplifted.

* ''[[Whisper of the Heart]]''. A sweet slice-of-life romance between two young people. The "Country Roads" scene in the violin shop is enough to make even a hardened macho dude sniff.

** Oh, heck, *any* of the [[Studio Ghibli]] films which are aimed at children are this.

* Despite the characters living in something of a nasty, dangerous world, what makes ''[[One Piece]]'' good is that it's still full of [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]] of all kinds. It's loaded with [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|positively warm and fuzzy]] scenes. And you always come out of reading it feeling NO ONE is alone, and that your true friends will care about, protect, and stay by your side no matter what, and that miracles happen and nothing is really impossible.

** You will have trouble finding something more awesome and uplifting than {{spoiler|Luffy beating the ever-loving snot out of Arlong and ending the battle by breaking his base ''in half with one kick''.}} * sniff* So awesome...

** I take the Arlong arc and raise you the Water 7/ Enie's Lobby arc. Even though it has a lot of depressing parts, it also has the appearance of Sogeking, Luffy going 'LEEE-ROOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINS!' on {{spoiler|Enie's Lobby}} and {{spoiler|''declaring war on the World Government to prove he won't abandon one of his crew''}}. [[Taco Ninja|This one]] cheered. One Piece is very good at taking all the depressing moments and turning them into Crowning Moments of Awesome.

** This troper literally has had ''[[One Piece]]'' be sweet dream fuel! She had the awesomest dream of her life the night she finished reading the manga.

* ''[[Sket Dance]]''. The friendships. The endless and unique humor. The adorable characters. The endlessly cute and heartwarming relationship between Bossun and Himeko. This manga WILL make your day better.

* ''[[Haibane Renmei]]''. There's something about Rakka waking up and seeing everyone else just smiling at her that warms this troper's heart.

* ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]''. The two sisters, the weird neighbor, the innocent girl and the British girl who can't speak English. There's a laugh in almost every scene with this group.

** For that matter, what about the ending of the manga, after {{spoiler|Tohru and Kyo hook up? Folks pair up with the people they've been in love with, the Zodiac curse is broken so they ''can'' show affection, we see that Kyoko was reunited with her husband in the afterlife, Akito is able to move on, and Tohru and Kyo end up [[Happily Married]].}}

* ''[[Manabi Straight!]]''. Seeing everyone work together to make the school festival a reality is just so [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heart-warming]].

* [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] cheers this troper up whenever he feels down. Some series just make you feel better to be alive.

** Nia. Getting a [[Tropers/Avatar Sango|troper]] who pretty much hates [[Moe Moe|Moe]], and getting him to like a character just because of HOW DAMN ADORABLE she is. She is made of d'awwww and [[Squee]]!

* ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' may be a dark and violent manga, but Lacie, the nostalgic melody from the pocketwatch is definitely Sweet Dreams Fuel. And this series is heavily based on ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' and ''Through the Looking-Glass'', after all, so the whole thing gives me a happy, nostalgic feeling.

* ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'', otherwise known as [[The Power of Love]] meets [[Character Development]]. Seeing the ways that the characters slowly grow and mature makes the happy ending feel so *right*.

** But that picture has [[Cute Ghost Girl|Fu]][[Tear Jerker|ko]]...

* [[Chobits]]. Some parts of the series are admittedly [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|very]] [[Contemplate Our Navels|serious]] (and, well, perverted), but most of it is the adorable antics of cute robot girls and a couple of intertwining love stories. What really makes it [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]], though, is the atmosphere: the visuals are soft, pretty, and mostly pastel-colored, and the soundtrack alternates between sugary-sweet and soothingly peaceful.

* ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' has always been this for this troper.

* While it starts out (and doesn't stop) with [[Nightmare Fuel]], ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' as a whole (especially the [[Happily Ever After]] in the manga and ''Brotherhood'') has a very uplifting message that you'll find yourself repeating when you feel like nothing's going your way:

{{quote|'''Edward Elric:''' There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary; you can't gain anything without losing something first. Although, if you can endure that pain, and walk away from it, you'll find that you have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah. {{spoiler|A heart made fullmetal.}}}}

* [[Mahoraba]] is a funny, heartwarming and strangely weird [[Slice of Life]] where every chapter is guaranteed to make you go "D'awwwww!" at least once. The characters are all absolutely [[Moe Moe|adorable]] and the ending wraps everything up like a big hug in a warm sweater.

* ''[[A Little Snow Fairy Sugar]]'' certainly qualifies. The night I began watching the show, I literally dreamed that Saga was playing my favorite songs on her piano with Sugar right next to me.

* ''[[Risky☆Safety]]'' - the manga was a [[Slice of Life]] comedy about an angel and a shinagami sharing the same body, but the anime took the premise and made it [[Lighter and Softer]] than anything else on television at the time.

 

* ''The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comics'' is pure, unleaded Sweet Dreams Fuel from start to finish. Loaded with over 60 classic comics from a large variety of artists (some of whom were even [[The Golden Age of Animation|Golden Age animators!]]) binded in a pseudo-classic book like fashion. The stories feature lovely artwork and stories handpicked by industry veterans like Art Spielgelmen (who you might know as the creator of the [[Nightmare Fuel|not-so-sweet dreams fuel]] ridden comic [[Maus]])--stories that they feel are worthy enough to be read by the children of today.

* There is also the Craig Yoe book ''The Golden Collection of Krazy Kool Klassic Kids' Komics'', which also has a large variety of comics from many classic artists. The story selection isn't quite as impressive as the Toon Treasury book, but it's still a worthy addition to any classic comic enthusiasts collection, a fun read for any age, and just as loaded with sweet dreams fuel.

* Every scene in ''[[The Sandman]]'' where [[Don't Fear the Reaper|Death]] shows up is this. Yes, even though she's ''Death''.

 

* Also [http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/268/8/9/890c6881b4f573a0352618320fdd5ca3-d4axs62.jpg this], though it may actually creep/gross out some.

 

* [[Alfonso Cuaron]]'s ''[[A Little Princess]]'', [[Tear Jerker|HEART Jerking]] not withstanding.

* Am I weird if I include ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' here? Because I think the characters are just adorable.

* Try, just ''try'', to watch Sigur Rós' homecoming-tour documentary [[Heima]] without wanting to move to Iceland and just bask in a sea of etheral post-rock, cable-knit sweaters, and geological anomaly forever.

* Pretty much any Pixar movie. If you can watch one all the way through without smiling at least once, then you have no soul.

*** Well, he has said that not one of his lines actually made it into the final film; his one real contribution is the character of Rex.

** ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' is ''literal'' [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]], by the end.

* ''[[Guest From the Future]]'', a children's [[Sci Fi]] classic from 1980s Russia. The characters—both kids and grownups—are all likeable, especially Alisa, the future girl herself. She made a new generation interested in science and the future, and the actress, [[Natalia Guseva]], became a scientist herself. And the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWSxev7eJvs theme music] is always worth a listen if you want to feel good.

* ''[[You Never Dreamed]]'' is also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-_iqhl_Za8 very adorable]{{broken link}}, and lets you know that no matter how hard it may seem today, love always works out in the end.

 

* ''Spring-Heeled Jack'', a half-graphic, half-novel about Victorian London's Batman as he rescues scruffy orphans [[Orphan's Plot Trinket|with trinkets]] and takes on Mack the Knife himself, wittily and with great aplomb. When [[Philip Pullman]] does sweet, he ''does sweet''.

** If you think about the fact that Spring-Heeled Jack is a semi-folkloric character more like a fire-breathing, failure-prone rapist than a dispensory of vigilante justice.

** Arguably also ''The Cat Who Wished to be a Man''. It's a very innocent outlook on humanity, and while some of it is depressing and [[Nightmare Fuel|frightening]], there are enough genuinly witty or sweet moments to make it worth it.

* ''14,000 things to be happy about'' by Barbara Ann Kipper. It's [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|exactly what it says on the cover]].

** Even just reading the books aloud is wonderful! Nothing is as adorable as reading about Pooh describing the lunch he packed while a series of little pictures show him packing said lunch.

* ''[[Paddington Bear (novel)|Paddington Bear]]''. You will never look at marmalade without a nostalgic smile ever again. Kind of like when you open a jar a Play-Doh.

* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish|So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish]]''. We've followed Arthur Dent through so very much, from his house (and subsequently his planet) being demolished, going insane, and being given more reasons to say "So this is it. We're going to die" than any man should have in his lifetime. And in a few months, he recovers his planet (and subsequently his home) and finds true love with someone so right for him that she even makes the idea of leaving Earth once more bearable. It's remarkably sweet and somehow feels right to the point where [[Deadpan Snarker|the narrator]] can concede the point without losing the wit or the trademark simile-ing everything to death.

* Connie Willis's ''[[Bellwether]]'' and ''[[To Say Nothing of the Dog]]''. Particularly the second - all her trademark screwball-comedy dialogue, a charming homage to Victorian and Edwardian literature, and even in the darker bits, there's a sense that everything will turn out OK. Also, fluffy kittens.

** Pretty much everything by Wodehouse, really.

* No matter how dark and depressing it can be, ''[[Harry Potter]]'' is this, at least for this troper. For the nostalgic reasons, and for the "I wish I lived in this world" feeling everyone gets.

* As mentioned in the Films section, Death from [[Discworld]] is absolutely adorable- he doesn't quite understand humans, but he finds them extremely fascinating, and, in the end, he really ''cares'' about people, working hard to protect them from the Auditors.

 

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]''. Brightly colored sets, fantastic clothing, impeccably witty dialogue, and amazing acting. Should rightly [[Tastes Like Diabetes|taste like diabetes]], but somehow everything works out in its favor (even the combination of the sweetness of Ned and Chuck and gruesome murders).

* ''[[Gilmore Girls]]''. The love that the mother and daughter have for each other, and not only that, even with all the troubles, Stars Hollow and the Gilmores are good people inside they hearts..

** It's more than that. It just perfectly encapsulates childhood, period, with a healthy dose of exaggeration. All the problems that seem petty looking back are displayed with outrageous importance, blown up to proportions that by all logic should seem too absurd to take seriously, but the characters are so genuine and their reactions so familiar and close to home that the lengths the conflicts are taken to seem justifiably as important now as they were then. The show takes you back to how it felt to search desperately for a missing [[Ear Worm]] or how unfair curfews seemed or how the local bully acted like a [[Complete Monster]]. But with that you get how it felt to have a crush, or end a fight with a friend, or do something nice for someone, or even just to relax. This show is an epic, feel-good tribute to what it means to be a kid and have fun without tasting like diabetes for a single moment. ''And'' it makes you laugh. So, yeah, perfect.

* "[[The Facts of Life|You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have....]]"

* "[[Family Ties]]" is definitely sweet dreams fuel for anyone who was a child in the 1980s.

* ''[[iCarly]]'': ''iSaved Your Life''. Freddie would sacrifice his life to save Carly, Carly realises how much he means to her, they kiss about 6 times in a very cute way (and one hot way in the extended version). They practically glow with happiness whilst they are together, and the final 'dawww', Freddie has a [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] moment because he doesn't want to hurt Carly by taking advantage of her when he's unsure if her feelings are true. Even though it's a minor [[Downer Ending]], it's a very powerful expression of his feelings for her and that it's not just some random teenage hormonal attraction on a show with practically no morals, aesops or lessons.

** Near the end of the finale for season six, the scene where {{spoiler|River goes home to Amy and Rory's place, and Amy's whoops of joy when she finds out the Doctor's alive.}}

* The entire show which has taught whole generations of people that a hero is a slightly barmy alien with a screwdriver who is a huge fan of our planet. Even his ship thinks we're bigger on the inside.

* [[The Mary Tyler Moore Show|"You're gonna make it after all..."]]—even the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iso1cTVXh5M opening theme] on its own is made of happy.

 

* [[Bowling for Soup]]. Especially [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz-ob6JmYUM Shut Up and Smile] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXhgfQSkEZ4&feature=related I'm Gay]. Just something about songs like these makes it impossible not to smile.

* Heartbeats by José González. Nuff said.

* This troper finds all of [[Joanna Newsom]]'s music incredibly soothing, particularly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NySQiCamNK4&feature=related Cassiopeia]. It's about going to sleep- literal [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]]!

* Every second of the Sailor Moon Orgel Fantasia CD. Princess Moon and Tuxedo Mirage sound like two of the worlds greatest lullabyes.

* Pretty much every song from Sunbears. Like here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICDRGDYaTi0&feature=related Dream happy dreams]

* "A Pillow Of Winds" from Pink Floyd.

* [[Ludo]] has a number of genuinely sweet, wonderful songs- I dare you to listen to ''Anything for You'' or ''Manta Rays'' without getting the warm fuzzies.

 

* The whole idea of [http://www.dailysquee.com The Daily Squee]. Baby animals with bells on!

* [http://www.youtube.com/user/LoveScottishFold This Youtube channel] dedicated to the uploader's cat.

 

* Reading just one panel of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' takes me right back to being six years old and reading the collections with my grandfather.

{{quote|It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy. Let's go exploring!}}

* ''Frazz'' is one of the cleverest strips being published today, and frequently gives the warm fuzzies besides!

 

* The Ku Klux Klan is listed under [[Nightmare Fuel|nightmare fuel]], and quite rightly. But the method of their defeat, the complete changing of their image from a distasteful but marginally tolerable part of the American social fabric to a collection of hate-filled idiots, is most definitely this: Superman took them on, and won. No joke. For the serial "Clan of the Fiery Cross," one of the writers of the ''Adventures of Superman'' radio serial infiltrated a "klavern," as the Klan called their chapters, and loaded the script with every last possible bit of genuine Klan slang, methodology and doctrine. The Klan leadership was so panicked they even tried to get the serial cancelled by organizing a boycott of Kellogg's products in Atlanta. It didn't work.

 

* ''Almost, Maine'' when it isn't being a [[Tear Jerker]].

 

* Roll's theme song "Kaze yo Tsutaete". it makes you feel warm and happy inside just listening to the cute singing voice of Yoshino Aoki, especially the Japanese version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

* [[Knytt]]: One of the best freeware games ever created, it's basically what happens when you take the atmosphere of [[Ico]] and turn it into a side-scroller. The graphics are deceptively simplistic but soothing, the music is ambient and lively, and the gameplay is so peaceful and dreamlike—there are almost no enemies in the game, no boss fights, and the only non-enemy way to die is to touch liquids. The crisp pacing and [[Metroidvania]] based gameplay, as well as it's short length (it can be beaten in an hour) make it a soothing gaming experience.

** Let's push it up to [[Kirby]] in general, at least when you're not facing bleeding eyeballs.

*** Even then, you can take comfort in the idea that the abominations can, in fact, be defeated.

** Kirby is so good at this that the usually manic [[Keet]] [[Let's Play|Medibot]] was incredibly mellow in his LP of Crystal shards.

* [http://www.k2xl.com/games/boomshine/ Boomshine]! Good luck getting your time back.

** Especially notable with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJQWznwtO5w&fmt=18 Minit]. Everything about her is cute, including the song she's in. Even her miss animation (in which she cries) and her "stage failed" animation (in which she cries and needs her brother Timer to comfort her) are cute.

* ''[[Loco Roco]]'' Just... [[Loco Roco]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfDr9eD7wKY&fmt=18 Look at the cute rolling smiley face blobs roll to the music is the brightest, happiest place ever!]

* The 'Good' ending of ''[[BioShock (series)]]''. Sure, the game has some of scariest, most profoundly messed up things ever, but that ending... It was such a [[Heartwarming Moments]] that you may shed [[Manly Tears]].

** The sequel's good ending also qualifies. {{spoiler|Eleanor is free. Delta's nightmarish existence finally ends, and he will continue to live within his beloved Little Sister / daughter. And Eleanor is going to teach to the Little Sisters he saved to be good persons, just like his daddy taught her to be. Even Lamb, who for the whole game has been trying to kill you, is given a second chance at life, and will instead be a better person than she ever was.}} Awwww...

* [[Super Mario RPG]] and its [[Spiritual Successor]], [[Paper Mario]]. These inventive and charming [[Role-Playing Game|RPGs]] will give even the most jaded gamer a warm and fuzzy feeling when playing through them.

 

* ''[[Question Duck]]'', a [[Web Comic]], is about a [[A Boy and His X|boy and his duck]] that goes around the world as Question Duck asks questions. General duck adorableness plus [[Scenery Porn]] just makes me squee whenever I see a new update.

* ''[[Count Your Sheep]]''. A webcomic about a young girl, her widowed mother, and the imaginary friend they share that helps out in the event of insomnia. Both funny and cute.

* [[A Moment of Peace]], despite its [[After the End]] setting, is one huge lump of this trope.

 

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0wEYtmmuFQ Cute Explosion.]

* The [[Colour My... Series]]. Even the [[Nightmare Fuel]] 3rd one has a sweet ending, compounded if you find the secret note. ^^

* Go to any image-sharing site and search "kiss_chart" or "kiss chart". Either adorableness and/or eroge ensue.

* Any ''[[Touhou]]'' fanart drawn by [http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=eijima_moko Eijima Moko].

* Anything from [[Team Starkid]]. They're just a bunch of kids in college goofing around and being ridiculous, but they're all friends and it's so clear that they love what they're doing. Not to mention that for all the ridiculousness, all of their plays have this heart to them deep down. Couple that with all the amazingly talented actors and writers they've got with them, as well as the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesomely]] [[Ear Worm|catchy]] music and the insanely quotable humor, and you've got something [[Catch Phrase|totally awesome]]. I [[A Very Potter Musical|lessthanthree]] all of those Starkids out there. :)

* The story [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Love Love.]

 

* ''[[Futurama]]'' - great show, lots of moments that are [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]], but there's something about the theme song that just puts a smile on my face every. single. time.

** The theme song was so innovative, it [[Executive Meddling|almost didn't make it]] onto the show. The ''[[Futurama]]'' theme is based on "Psyché Rock", one of the more accessible compositions by ''musique concrète'' progenitor Pierre Henry. In that context, however, it's possible for music to be relatively accessible yet [[True Art Is Incomprehensible|almost devoid of melody]]. (To be fair: both pieces somehow have a melody, despite being based almost entirely on percussion.)

* [[Phineas and Ferb|Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!]]

* Y'know what? I ''love'' ''[[My Little Pony|My Little Pony 'n' Friends]]''. It makes me happy when I'm down. [[The Movie]] and the original special are the best--[[Ear Worm|Call Upon the Sea Ponies]] and [[Ear Worm|Nothing Can Stop the Smooze]] and witches being punished by eating ice cream and light triumphing over dark...

*** [http://youtu.be/qqo53-pNxsE?hd=1 Are you proud to be a Brony?]

*** Especially heartwarming is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTF7_Sh2poM this MLP:FIM marriage proposal video.] Now, two bronies will live happily ever after, all because of ponies.

* The Pre-pieman 2003 [[Strawberry Shortcake]] series qualifies. Nothing too scary ever occurs in the show and it and episodes always end on a high note.

* [[PB and J Otter|PB&J Otter]]. Just PB&J Otter. It's from the same minds that brought us Doug!

** It's full of monsters, but most of them either turn out to be ''[[Ugly Cute]]'' or far too rediculous to be even remotely scary.

*** Grim's the freakin' ''[[Grim Reaper]]'' and even HE'S adorable.

* The [[Popples]] will make you smile! It's cute and funny, too!

* On the subject of this trope, Maurice [[La Marche]], Puzzle's voice actor, hated his time working on this show because he said it was so cute he felt like "vomiting after every recording session".

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv0wc_vg8w8 This puppy] and it's whistle. It makes you realize that the good things in life are sometimes the smallest.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ESpapSjrwY Foals] Everything about them, with their small knobby little legs and their little hobble walk. So cute.

* Going to a natural history museum as an adult, looking at all of the dinosaur displays, and getting flashes of that "Dinosaurs are/were really big and really cool!" sense of wonder and awe from when you were a child. Even better if you can watch actual children demonstrating it with big smiles on their faces.

* Maine Coons! The [[Gentle Giant]] of cat breeds. Plus they are very talkative and love to snuggle up to their owners whenever they can.

** Birman cats are also giant fluffs of cute! They are known for their docile nature, enjoying spending time with humans and other pets and just have great, relaxed personalities in general, let alone their beautiful blue eyes and their gorgeous fluffy coats! And their white little paws! And! AND! [http://www.pictures-of-cats.org/images/birman-Gianluca-Neri-1.jpg Bwah! Just SO cute!]

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlxPp0vAniY It's good in ASL, too.]

* Rain. For me personally, I love walking out in the rain and feeling it on my skin. Even just listening to it from inside is very soothing.

* The feeling of belonging. Especially after being the loner for so long, it's delightful and amazing to feel part of a group.

** I imagine for a lot of people - conventions and other fan events. There is nothing like this. The first time this troper went to an LGBT group meeting came close, though.

** Hell, [[Celtic Woman|Chloë Agnew]] (the girl holding the Koala) is this troper's sweet dreams fuel :D

*** On that note, Órla Fallon. Fellow CW member Lisa Kelly described her as "angelic". Whenever she's onstage she gets so into the music, you just know she wants you to have as good a time as she's having. And at her solo concerts she'll talk to the audience afterward, and encourages you to sing along with her. Órla is pretty much the living incarnation of Sweet Dreams Fuel. And for that matter, so is her ''voice''. Listen to her sing "Carrickfergus" or "Isle of Inisfree" or pretty much any song on her solo album ''Distant Shore''.

* This troper once heard that the odds of life developing at all within our universe, and specifically arising to form intelligent life, could be compared to filling a dozen major football stadiums with sand, and then choosing one of these stadiums, and picking a single grain of sand from it, and having it be ''just the right one''. We are ''that'' lucky ''to even be alive''.

** I read that example as a cross between the [[Sharpshooters Fallacy]] and [[You Fail Statistics Forever]].

**** An absurdly funny condolence and a plea for people suffering depression? YOU, sir, are Sweet Dream Fuel. *applause*

* Sitting on a couch with a loved one as it softly rains outside, and just cuddling with each other and enjoying each other's company.
