1. The occasion of having a nightmare and waking up from it, only to soon discover that you didn't really wake up at all. And repeat.
Best if each pseudo-waking involves conversing with someone sleeping beside you.
2. (in cinema) When a film has an eerie moment involving a nightmare which a character is unable to wake up from. The character will continuously wake up each time by gasping and sitting up in bed. Usually a cheap attempt at something psychological or "artistic", with vague dialogue from the character/s feigning profoundness.
Also usually followed up by an interesting experiment with camera techniques, and some vague imagery hinting at existentialism. Always done with suspenseful music.
Both above definitions drawn from the Kids In The Hall sketch, the Pear Dream.

1. Last night I had a terrible pear dream about clowns. For a moment there I thought I had slept with a man named Bobo.
2. A: What's wrong?
B: I had the pear dream again.
A: Was I there?
B: Yes. I think I'm insane.
A: I know you are.

A lucid dream is an extremely vivid dream. in a lucid dream you are aware that you are dreaming. you can train yourself to do reality checks throughout the day so it gets cemented into your subconscious. this way you will do reality checks in your dream to see if you are actually dreaming. this is a way to become lucid. common reality checks include holding your nose shut and looking at a digital clock. this is because in your dreams you can still breath if you hold your nose shut, and numbers are disordered commonly. once you are lucid you have the power to do whatever you want. fly, make things appear, make things disappear, or change locations...the list is endless.
Guy: heyyyy girl i had a fun type in your bed last night
Girl: EXCUSE ME!!
Guy: What! you liked it in my lucid dream!

A bunch of soyboys that simp over dream no matter what, whether it’s getting accounts on twitter suspended for going against dream or dream stans even in the slightest or disagreeing with something about dream or basically harassing people like a crowd of BTS fan girls.

Iis often reffered to as a laid back fairytale- like mentality it usually means that one is hoping for something that is not going to happen. It is a state of denial
'My boyfriend loves me he would never cheat on me...." after he admitted to doing so.... you were california dreaming
