''Daria'' includes numerous examples of dream worlds, most of them short-lived and incidental. Brief, anxiety-provoking dreams appear in several ''Daria'' episodes, such as "[[Monster]]," "[[Ill]]," and "[[Of Human Bonding]]"; they resolve nothing except to reflect a character's inner worries. |

On a larger scale, most of the ''Daria'' episode "[[Murder, She Snored]]" takes place in one of Daria's dreams, as does nearly all the content of the computer game, ''[[Daria's Inferno]].'' Each involves Daria in a quest, to either solve a murder (in the former case) or to escape from Hell (in the latter).

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 |

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]]"). |
