Question

Fans discuss dream sequences mentioned or depicted in Seinfeld episodes, sharing examples like FBI shootings from The Baby Shower and Elaine in bed with the main characters from The Slicer.

In very few episodes the writers make use of, or mention, dreams.

How many 'dreams' in Seinfeld can you remember, either seen or described?

please post as: description....[episode]

e.g.: the FBI shootings.....[The Baby Shower]

others?

( I can think of about four others, there must be more than that)

The News Guy(Mike) threw down this gauntlet:

<<< How many dreams {shown or mentioned}: the FBI shootings.....[The Baby Shower]

Elaine in bed with Jerry, George and Kramer....[the Slicer]

Kramer tells Elaine's boyfriend/ therapist/ "svenjolly" he once dreamed he was a chcken with a candy bar for a head.... [the Watch]. (it should be noted that I most recently saw this scene on one of the Blooper tapes that're floating around...it may have been an alternate take which did not appear in the episode. If so, I apologize.)

    I caught this on the Blooper Tape as well and wondered if it had
been included in the original show and been taken out in syndication
cuts, or if it had just been a blooper that was never aired.  Micheal
Richards said the exact same line in the movie UHF.
    A bit off topic, but what are your favorite moments in original
airings of Seinfeld that didn't make it to syndication?  Mine would have
to be in The Strongbox where Kramer is listing the items he keeps in his
box and mentions taxidermy that had been in his family for generations.
I can't believe they cut that line!

I don't remember ever seeing that one so I guess it was snipped.

BUT, Dr Restin talks about Elaine's erotic dream with of a Chinese Woman in the same episode. and There is Elaine's dream with 'wooden teeth' in [The Stake Out]

Was 'Mr. Marbles' a dream?

What an interesting topic! Here's what I can come up with: Uncle Leo doing pull-ups...[The Bookstore] Kramer's use of Jerry's apartment (debatable)...[The Bookstore] Men in George's sexual fantasies...[The Note]

While we're on dreams, I hade a dream last night that I was the host of this game show, but no body was winning...

The bit when all four were in bed, that was a dream right?

Jerry woke up laughing in his sleep while dreaming about a funny story. He wrote it down and spent the rest of the ep with him (and the gang) trying to interpret what he had written and why it was so funny.

That was in [The Heart Attack]

But wasn't it something he saw on TV while half asleep?

How about when Kramer is dreaming whether or not he should choose Neuman's new year's party or Jerry's friendship in "The Millennium".

Maybe the entire final episode was just a really long dream. Remember, Kramer was asleep on the airplane.

You forgot about Newhart...erased an entire what 7 season series...oh and thanks for mentioning Dallas, I can imagine that episode already...Pam finding Bobby alive in the shower...

<<<<<<Hey, if Dallas can erase a whole season by having it all be just a dream, there's no reason Seinfeld can't erase that one ill-conceived episode. You forgot about Newhart...erased an entire what 7 season series...oh and thanks for mentioning Dallas, I can imagine that episode already...Pam finding Bobby alive in the shower... >>>>>

I think something similar happened more recently. On ...Married With Children, didn't an entire season turn out to be Al's dream/nightmare? Katie Sagal was expecting in real life, so her pregnancy was written into the show. Unfortunately, Katie miscarried. The producers (to their credit) were not about to make her continue the make-believe pregnancy and then have to handle a new-born on the show after such a personal tragedy. So they pulled a "Dallas," and presto---it never happened.
