Line 17:
Many ''Daria'' fanfics include brief dreams had by one or more characters (e.g., [[Brianna Aisling]]'s "[[Nightfears]]"), but few take place largely within a dream-world context. Some fanfics have settings that appear dreamlike and bizarre but are not true dreams (e.g., "[[Deus Jane]]" and "[[Jane Unchained]]"). Unusual dreams are a major component of [[Richard Lobinske]]'s "[[A Choice]]" and "[[Nervous Dreams]]."
 
Dream worlds sometimes serve a broader purpose in fandom by explaining away troublesome aspects of the TV series. In "[[A Desperately Needed Ending (to 'Depth Takes a Holiday')]]," [[Kara Wild]] posits that "[[Depth Takes a Holiday]]" was in truth a dream that Daria had after falling ill from food poisoning. [[MMan]]'s "[[Without a Shower]]" does the same thing with [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria's]] relationship with [[Tom Sloane]]. At the extreme are stories in which the entire ''Daria'' show is revealed to be a dream world (e.g., [[Mr Anonymous]]'s "[[A Day in the Married Life]]" and [[Angelinhel]]'s "[[Padded Walls]]").
