- GoofsAs Xander crawls from his ice cream truck into his room, the the blue screen outside the truck's side window partially leaves the visible area of the window, revealing the studio. Then, the chroma key effect is turned off too early, showing the blue screen in its true color. This is only visible in the expanded-to-widescreen version, not in the originally intended 4:3 frame.

All You Have to Do Is Dream, Dream, Dream
When I was in college back in the stone age, I began to learn what surrealism was. I was really set in the view that are had to be a representation of the world I saw every day. Then along comes the likes of Dali, Magritte and their ilk. I began to love the bizarre quality of their work. This eventually got into my movie going, with people like Bunuel. That doesn't mean everything I watch has to have clocks drooping over edges like fried eggs, but it makes for a grander view of the world. This episode was quite marvelous. When we dream, all our shared experiences become muddled. Our desires are put into action and then pulled away. We have powers we never knew we had and there are threats that aren't resolved until we wake up. This episode is a stand alone. Thank goodness that Joss Whedon doesn't feel like he has to appease the most unimaginative viewers. I love that people say that this episode of Buffy was disrespectful of "us." It's not Joss Whedon's job to respect "us." It is to make us think once in a while and get away from all the martial and disintegrating vampires. I love this one.
