I leave a big tip with every receipt

It's been a while since I've done a poll or an informal poll, so I think it's high time for one.

The question of the day is "What is your favorite* dream/fantasy sequence from a TV show?"

*Favorite being a relative term, of course. Could be just one you enjoy greatly.

There are a lot of GG fans reading this. Does the "twins" dream from S3 outrank all others? Perhaps you have an inexplicable love for the Paul Anka dream. Maybe you want to cite the entire series of Newhart or St. Elsewhere or that big chunk of Dallas as a dream sequence. Maybe you love the part in HIMYM where Lily hangs out with George Clinton.

Are the best dream sequences ones where you know it's a dream from the beginning? Or are they the unexpected ones where you don't find out until later?

What makes a headline dream sequence good? The fantasy? The part where anything can happen? The characters can act out all their secret desires and urges without being penalized by real life?

My favorite dream/fantasy sequence, and believe me, there were many good ones to choose from, is all about the actions. No dialogue. It's a ballet. It shows a lot about the characters, especially when you take into consideration whose subconscious we're seeing this through. Even without the underlying characters and analysis like that, though, it's a beautiful scene. The music, the dancing, the lighting--everything lines up to make this one hell of a dream sequence.
