abstract
  • A stock dream where the subject finds themselves in a familiar social institution (usually school or the workplace) wearing only their underwear, or sometimes nothing at all. This is often coupled with a high-pressure task (such as an examination or a deadline), and the thought that you have somehow forgotten to get dressed this morning. Usually, this trope is invoked to simply indicate that the person is dreaming. When played straight, it is simply embarrassing, and not in the least bit erotic or terror-inducing. And it will never, ever be prophetic...although in comedy, it's occasionally subverted by having the "bad dream" turn out to not be a dream at all. This is definitely Truth in Television. A Sub-Trope of Anxiety Dreams. See also Fully-Clothed Nudity. Not to be confused with an Out-of-Clothes Experience, the everyday attire of a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal, or someone who is Not Wearing Tights. Also not to be confused with Going Commando. The subversion is Nude-Colored Clothes. Examples of "Not Wearing Pants" Dream include:
