"Sleepy Time" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 1. In this episode, SpongeBob visits the dreams of others.
After settling for bed in the evening and sleeping, SpongeBob has a strange dream where he is driving a hot rod in a Krabby Patty-themed location and he has his driver's license, then crashes into a rock. However, Mrs. Puff appears and tears up SpongeBob's license, and he is then propelled out of his own dream. He appears as a small, glowing version of himself in the outside world, where he sees himself sleeping. SpongeBob realizes that his soul has started travelling, and he sees Gary's dream cloud. He then jumps in.
In his dream, Gary has a humanoid body who can speak English and resides in a huge library. Gary tells SpongeBob some limericks before SpongeBob goes out of Gary's dream cloud and into Patrick's. Patrick's dream is completely empty, except for a kiddy ride that he is riding on. SpongeBob explains to him that in a dream, he can do whatever he wants, which he demonstrates by changing size and creating a million copies of himself. Patrick says he's already satisfied, and SpongeBob goes out of Patrick's dream cloud. The ride then stops and Patrick takes out a quarter but drops it in a sewer grid.
Next, he goes into Squidward's dream, where Squidward is playing his clarinet for a king in a theater. SpongeBob distracts the king by telling him a limerick that Gary recited in his dream, and Squidward stops, angry at SpongeBob for invading his dream. The king growls at him for not playing. After this happens several times, Squidward becomes so furious that he snaps his clarinet, but SpongeBob saves him by turning into a clarinet. It produces no sound, and SpongeBob just sings horribly, which surprisingly everybody applauds at. A crowd then picks up SpongeBob while throwing Squidward into a fruit cart, wondering how he can make such music. He then transforms back into his normal form and runs out the exit doors at the back of the theater. Squidward is knocked into the fruit cart by the audience and the king while they chase SpongeBob as he exits the dream.
SpongeBob goes into Sandy's dream, where they are skydiving and have to land on a painted target. SpongeBob asks if it's "kind of dangerous," and Sandy says "Not as long as you got a big ol' parachute." SpongeBob misunderstands her twice (such perceiving "pair of shoes" and "parakeet"), and while trying to explain to him, Sandy fails to open her own parachute in time and lands in a truck filled with clam manure. SpongeBob falls out of Sandy's dream and says to himself "All right, that's it. No more messing with people's dreams."
However, he then goes to what he thinks is Mr. Krabs' dream, but actually is Pearl's dream, where she is having a tea party with her stuffed animals in a very childish and girlish setting. After realizing this, he immediately goes to Mr. Krabs' dream, where he's fishing for money. Mr. Krabs instructs SpongeBob to pull out his money net from his back pocket, which turns out to be Mr. Krabs' wallet. SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs manage to catch Moby Dollar, but it escapes and Mr. Krabs shoots SpongeBob out of the dream via a harpoon gun tied to SpongeBob.
He is launched directly into Plankton's dream. Plankton, in his dream, is a giant monster and can shoot lasers from his eye, and is destroying the city. SpongeBob realizes that it isn't a dream, but a nightmare. Once Gary is about to be crushed by Plankton, SpongeBob pricks his foot by turning into a pushpin, and Plankton deflates. The angry Bikini Bottomites close in on him and Plankton tells them that he guesses he has some explaining to do, but gets his punishment by being stepped on by everyone else. Plankton then wakes up in terror.

•With the production code of 2515-141, this is the final episode of season 1 in production order, and thus the last episode to be conceived with the use of traditional cels in mind. Cels for this show were used until 1999, and digital ink-and-paint was introduced in 2000. •This is the first episode for a few things: •The first episode of the series to premiere in the 2000s. •The first episode where SpongeBob's shoes and socks are removed. •This is also the first episode in which he is barefoot. •The first episode SpongeBob is seen with a driver's license. •Counting the cameo of Karen's desktop form, this is the first episode in which all ten main characters appear. •The dreams that were seen in this episode: •SpongeBob's dream: SpongeBob is driving a racecar through a world filled with Krabby Patties. He gets his driving license, but Mrs. Puff appears and rips it up, destroying his confidence. •Gary's dream: Gary is the humanoid keeper of a vast library. •Patrick's dream: Patrick is riding a kiddie ride in an empty white void. •Squidward's dream: Squidward, as Wolfgang Amadeus Tentacles, performs at a clarinet recital for a king. •Sandy's dream: Sandy is skydiving from an airplane to land on a red target. •Pearl's dream: Pearl is having a tea party with stuffed animals in her fantasy world. •Mr. Krabs' dream: Mr. Krabs is at sea during a storm, trying to catch a giant dollar bill named "Moby Dollar." •Plankton's dream: Plankton is a giant causing destruction in Bikini Bottom. •SpongeBob's second dream: When SpongeBob tucks himself into his bed in his dream bubble, he is surrounded by all of his angry friends' heads, frightening him until he wakes up. •Patrick is the only one who doesn't get angry at SpongeBob for entering his dream. •The only main characters whose dreams SpongeBob doesn't visit are Mrs. Puff and Karen. •This is likely justified in Karen's case since that as a mechanical organism, she would not be programed to dream, or at the very least, not dream in the conventional sense that would allow Dream SpongeBob to manifest himself in her consciousness, and even if that were the case, Dream SpongeBob had eventually decided to just try to get back home anyway after barely surviving her husband's dream. •"My leg!:" In Plankton's dream, just as he is destroying a building. •This episode heavily uses the concepts of lucid dreaming, astral projection, and out of body experience. •Gary says "Beware of your wandering eye, you little poriferan" in his dream. The scientific name for a sponge is the phylum Porifera. •This and its sister episode were written by exactly the same people. The same applies to the storyboard directors, storyboard artists, animation director, and creative director. •This means that this episode has the same opening credits as its sister. •In the video games Battle for Bikini Bottom and Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated, there is a stage based on this episode: SpongeBob's Dream, where it takes place in the dream world and allows SpongeBob to visit the dreams of other characters. Also, one of the robots that appear in the level is called Sleepy-Time, which is behind the Krusty Krab. •The video game Creature from the Krusty Krab is very similar to this episode. The game's third act, in which SpongeBob and Patrick battle a giant Plankton, is directly based on Plankton's dream in this episode. •In this episode, it is revealed on SpongeBob's and Mr. Krabs' driver's licenses when they were born. •SpongeBob's driver's license: •A1356021 •Expires: 12-14-03 •Address: 124 Conch St. Bikini Bottom •Class: S •Sex: M •Hair: Yellow •Eyes: Blue •HT: 0-04 •WT: 1oz •DOB: 07-14-86 •Mr. Krabs' driver's license: •A5265661 •Expires: 11-30-02 •Address: 3541 Anchor Way Bikini Bottom •Class: S •Sex: M •Hair N/A •Eyes: Green •HT: 0-07 •WT: 5 •DOB: 11-30-42 •According to a picture of a workprint of the episode posted by storyboard artist Adam Paloian on his Twitter account, SpongeBob's license was originally going to look a bit different, with a different picture of SpongeBob and a different signature signed "S. Squarepants" instead of "SpongeBob SquarePants." •This episode's opening is similar to its sister episode's opening, "Suds," as both episodes start with SpongeBob having a dream. •There is a PowerTouch book based on this episode. •Gary and Pearl were annoyed at SpongeBob, but SpongeBob didn't do anything in their dreams that caused trouble in any way. •In this episode, Plankton wakes up at an office desk. The desk reappears in "Truth or Square," Creature from the Krusty Krab, and "Plankton's Intern." According to the background artwork, the computer on the desk is "desktop" Karen. •Interestingly, this episode aired over two years before "The Algae's Always Greener," the first episode to actually name Karen on-screen. •SpongeBob's reaction is never shown to his friends admonishing him for ruining their dreams. •During the Bikini Bottom's Most Wanted event, this episode was paired with "Scaredy Pants." •On the May 17, 2003 airing, this episode was paired with "Survival of the Idiots." •This is the second episode where Pearl doesn't cry. •Squidward's line, "Don't we get enough of you during the day?", foreshadows the events of "Gone" where it is revealed the whole town of Bikini Bottom celebrates National No SpongeBob Day, a whole day dedicated to getting away from SpongeBob. •This episode was picked as #70 as part of the Best Day Ever Marathon, but was never aired.
Dub facts
•In the Serbian dub, the Emily Dickinson poem was changed to "Među javom i med snom," a Serbian poem written by Laza Kostić. And, when SpongeBob visits Squidward's dream, he actually recites the same poem to the king.
Cultural references
•SpongeBob tells Gary, "Curiosity salted the snail," a reference to the old saying, "Curiosity killed the cat," as sea snails are portrayed as the cats of the sea. •Moby Dollar is a parody of Moby Dick from the novel of the same name. •The name that Squidward has in his dream, Wolfgang Amadeus Tentacles, is a reference to the famous 18th century music composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. •Also, the Andante from his Piano Concerto No. 21 is playing in the background while SpongeBob is in Gary's dream. •Sandy crashing into a truck of clam manure is a reference to the running gag from the Back to the Future movies where Biff Tannen crashes into a truck of manure. •In one scene, when Gary and SpongeBob are walking along with the library, a book is shown close up. On the cover, the title reads Of Snails and Men, a parody of John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. •In addition, Gary references and quotes Emily Dickinson, one of history's most famous poets. •In Pearl's dream, Roughy Goulet and Ricky Marlin, parodies of singers Robert Goulet and Ricky Martin can be seen on album covers. •Gary's poem is a reference to "The Old Man of Peru," by Edward Lear. •When SpongeBob says "Mind your wandering eye, you little mollusk." to Gary, that is a reference to the 1997 song "The Mollusk," by Ween from their album The Mollusk. In the song, the lyric referenced is "The mollusk lingers, with its wandering eye." The album helped inspire Stephen Hillenburg during the creation of the show.
