You know, Sprocket,

I had the strangest dream last night.

Yes, I dreamed about a little furry creature

about so high with fuzzy hair and a long tail,

who chased me around the room.

And do you know what happened, Sprocket?

He handed me a pair of red-and-white-striped socks.

Yes. Yes, and it was one of those really clear dreams, too, in vivid color.

Yeah.

I wonder what it means.

[knock on door]

Oh, now who can that be at this hour?

Can't a man and his dog eat a quiet breakfast

without people always...

Thanks, Ned.

They... they must have fallen out of my laundry basket.

Sprocket, look.

-Look, look. My dream. Remember, Sprocket? -[whines questioningly]

I dreamt about alittle furry something-or-other

who handed me a pair of red-and-white-striped socks.

“Well, here I have the socks. [grunts]

My dream could be trying to tell me something.

But what?

Now, I know what the red-and-white-striped socks mean,

but what about the little furry creatures?

[Sprocket gasps, barks] [Doc] You're right, Sprocket.

[whines]

There's more to dreaming than we might think.

[barking]

-Oh, there's no doubt about it. [whining]

If we paid closer attention to our dreams,

you know, we'd know a lot more about the world and about ourselves.

[papers shuffling]

-That's right, Sprocket. -[whines frantically]

From now on,

we pay attention.

-Oh. [laughing]

Phew, another day, another postcard from my Uncle Traveling Matt.

Yup. Another day, another postcard from Uncle Traveling Matt.

And there's still plenty of time for fun.

Yeah. Well, except that I promised Boober I'd help him clean up his room first.

Oh, gee, that's too bad. That doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

Well, yeah, but don't you think Boober's maybe more fun than he looks?

I love Boober too, but you know,

I think he looks like about as much fun as a potato.

Uh...

Gee, I... I always thought potatoes were a riot. [scoffs]

-[banging] [groans]

[Boober snoring]

[laughing]

[Wembley] Boober. [snoring continues]

Ah, that joke is funnier than a fake nose.

“What'd you say? [laughing]

Oh, I love to laugh.

[laughing]

[snoring, laughing]

Oh, oh...

[stuttering] Where am 1?

Boober?

Oh...

Oh, Wembley, I just had that horrible nightmare again.

What horrible nightmare? -[shuddering]

Oh, it was awful.

It's all about a disgusting, terrible, horrible Fraggle named Sidebottom.

-Ooh, Sidebottom. Yuck.

I've never heard of him.

sighs] “What does he look like?

-Tsk. I can't really remember. -Oh.

But he's sort of like a... a big green potato.

-Gahl -You mean, he looks like you?

Huh?

No, Wembley, it doesn't matter what he looks like.

He's gruesome.

He's so much fun.

-Yeah... -He laughs and dances and sings.

-Ooh. -And he tells jokes to the Doozers.

-[admiringly] No. [sighs]

Well, are they funny jokes?

-Yes, they're hysterical. -Ooh.

Oh, Wembley,

the minute I start dreaming, he's there.

-Oh. -I haven't slept for days.

“What am I gonna do? - don't know.

I know you don't know.

Wait, I know.

You say that Sidebottom tums your dreams into one big party?

Yes. It's revolting.

Sounds great to me.

Me, too.

I have to admit that I could use a good party now and then.

{Wembley laughs] Wait a minute. What am I gonna do?

Yeah, Boober will never be able to sleep again.

-[Boober shudders] ~The only thing you can do

is learn to live with Sidebottom.

Impossible.

Well then, you'll just have to stay awake.

What?

Oh, that's a first-rate set of alternatives, Marjory.

-[Gunge] Yeah. Huh? As I always say,

there's small choice between rotten radishes.

Oh, you said it.

I heard her.

Look, relax.

You can lean something about yourself from your dream.

Remember, all dreams are a little bit true.

True. True.

But dreams are not easy to understand,

$0 get a second opinion.

Next time you're going to dream,

take your little furry friend here along.

He'll help.

You mean, Wembley should meet Sidebottom, too?

Two heads are better than one, right?

[both] Right.

Oh, you Fraggles are so lucky.

You can share your dreams.

So share the dream and find out what's going on.

Good advice, Marjory.

Dream a dream and see.

But, um...

[both] The Trash Heap has spoken.

-Come on, Boober. [chuckles] -[Boober sighs]

Nighty-night.

Wembley? -Mm-hmm?

I really appreciate you sharing this dream with me.

Oh, don't mention it.

-But I already did. -Okay, mention it.

[both sigh]

Are our heads touching?

I think so. Yeah.

Dream a dream and see...

Uh, what a dream can be.

[both yawning]

[male voice echoing] What a great party.

-Oh, no. -I know a joke I think you'll really like.

-[whimpers] -Ready?

What lies at the bottom of the sea and shakes?

Oh, Wembley, that's him. Come on, let's wake up.

Oh, come on, Boober. Don't you wanna hear the end of the joke?

-[whooping] No.

[laughing]

What lies at the bottom of the sea and shakes?

A nervous wreck.

Oh, I love that joke.

[laughing]

[all laughing]

Hello, Boober, old pal, old buddy, old pal, old buddy, old pal, old buddy.

[laughs]

Hey, what is this?

Have you actually brought a friend

to my happy comer of the land behind the eyes?

Hello, I'm Wembley.

And I'm Sidebottom.

[Wembley laughs] Wow me.

[Wembley and Sidebottom laugh]

You see, I'm the fun side of Boober,

but he always keeps me on the bottom,

s0 I call myself Sidebottom.

[laughing]

-Do you like it? -I think it's great.

A Fraggle who knows a whoopee cushion when it hits him on the head.

Whoopee!

Oh, that was a whoopee cushion, all right.

A nice little fella, too.

Yes. All right now, Wembley, let's have us some fun.

-Okay. -[both whooping]

Wembley, Wembley. Oh, let's wake up now.

Please. This is awful.

Wembley.

-Oh, come on, Boober. [Wembley whooping, laughing]

Loosen up.

You never bring anybody in here to see me.

I get tired of telling all my best jokes to dream Doozers.

No offense, boys.

[Doozers] Yay, Sidebottom.

Oh, but I guess maybe I'd better go back with Boober now.

Well, okay. But will you visit me again, please?

I've got lots more jokes to tell you. [ingling]

Well, sure.

Wembley, no...

Promise? And promise you'll bring your friends?

Promise on the solemn oath of the Fraggles?

Please?

Whoa... Well, you bet I promise.

Uh, weeba, weeba, waffa, waffa, garpox, gumbage, whoopee.

“Whoopee! [laughing]

Wembley. Wembley, what are you doing?

“Whoa! -Okay, come back real soon.

Iwill. Uh, squeet squeet.

Squat squat. [laughing]

-[Boober moaning] Wembley] Yeah, I'l come back. Bye.

[both groaning]

Whew! [laughing]

[groans] laughs]

Well, Wembley,

you shared my dream.

Yeah. “What's your opinion?

Well, uh, my opinion is, it was fun. [chuckles]

Yeah. Horrible, wasn't it?

-Yuck. Well, maybe a little horrible, Boober,

but except for the wonderful part.

[laughs]

What wonderful part?

Oh, the whole thing.

Sidebottom was great.

I haven't laughed that hard since yesterday.

Wembley, don't you realize that when you laugh,

germs can get right in your mouth.

Well, I... -Fun is dangerous.

-Oh. -Sidebottom is not great.

He's terrible. He's reckless.

He's you.

How can you say such a thing?

Well, you wanted a second opinion. gasps]

Not that second opinion.

Wembley, I am not reckless.

I am careful.

I pride myself on my inability to guffaw.

Sidebottom is not me.

Well, then maybe you're him.

Wembley, no.

If Sidebottom is really me,

then I'l never be able to get rid of him.

[moans]

ll... Ill never be able to sleep again.

[barking]

[Doc] It doesn't say in any of these dream analysis books

what it means to dream of furry little creatures that high,

with bug-out eyes and long tails.

[whines]

It says little creatures that high, who are green, and wear helmets

are symbols of work and creativity.

-Oh, but I didn't dream about them. [whines]

I keep remembering this dream more and more, Sprocket.

The strange, furry little creature lived in a big cave or...

No, no. It was a rock.

-[woofing] -And they... Yes.

They were...

swimming in a big pool.

[Sprocket woofs]

Now where did my subconscious mind dig up an image like that?

[groans] -I can't get my mind

off that bizarre dream

with these happy little creatures swimming and playing games.

[Red] I'm gonna get you, Mokey.

Oh, no, you're not.

[laughing]

Freeze, Mokey, I got you.

[panting] Gobo. [Gobo laughs]

[Red grunting]

Freeze, Gobo. I got you.

You missed me by a Doozer tower.

I did not. Come back here.

Wembley, I just don't feel like playing Fraggle Freeze.

Well, maybe it'l take your mind off your dream and Sidebottom.

-[Boober gasps] -I got you, Gobo.

You did not.

I did too.

-[Boober moaning] -[Red] Oh...

I got him, didn't I, Mokey?

Huh?

I don't know. I was frozen.

[laughing]

Wembley, Boober.

Oh, goodie. Now that you're here, let's play something different.

-Good idea. Yeah.

Fraggle Freeze is too much fun.

Let's do something safe and boring.

-Boring? “Hmm.

Okay. Hey, Gobo, read us a card from your Uncle Matt.

[laughs] -It so happens, I have one right here,

but I hate to disappoint you, it's not boring at all.

[Boober laughs feebly] Uh-oh.

"Dear Nephew Gobo..."

[Matt] { just discovered

that the shiny creatures who live in this world share dreams,

but not exactly as Fraggles do.

Last night, I watched these large, shiny beasts settle down in their beds,

close their eyes, and go to sleep.

All standard procedure, I admit.

-Or almost standard procedure. [movie projector starting]

[gasps]

Anyway, if was the strangest dream I've ever seen,

-nothing at all like a Fraggle dream. [movie soundtrack playing]

What kind of dream is that?

Bizarre.

[music continues playing]

"Love, your Uncle Traveling Matt."

Boy, that was some weird postcard.

-[Gobo and Wembley] Yeah. Well, uh, Matt is one weird uncle.

[all laughing]

But speaking of weird, what's with Boober?

[whimpers] You think shiny creatures have weird dreams,

you should meet Sidebottom.

-Oh. ‘Who's Sidebottom?

Oh, he's a disgusting, horrible nightmare.

-[Boober sighs] -He's a Fraggle in Boober's dream.

He's not disgusting at all. He's really fun.

-Yuck! -Fun? Now wait a minute, Wembley.

Boober's a Fraggle who thinks giggling is bad for you.

{Mokey laughs] Well, itis.

Oh, I've made my point.

[stammers] But, Red, Boober's dream was really fun.

Sidebottom is a riot. [scoffs]

And you should see his whoopee cushion. [laughs]

No, you shouldn't.

Hey, Sidebottom sounds interesting.

Oh, I... I really like him myself,

but he seems kind of lonely.

I think he needs friends.

Aw, poor Sidebottom.

Yuck! -Hey, Boober, maybe we could meet him.

-[Gobo and Wembley] Yeah. -No, no, no, no.

I have to get rid of him,

or I'l never get another peaceful night's sleep.

-[Mokey] Oh... -My health will degenerate.

But, Boober, I promised Sidebottom we'd come back.

I promised on the...

[sternly] solemn oath of the Fraggles.

-[Boober shudders] Heavy.

Oh, no.

Well, then there's nothing I can do.

But now you promise me

that you're not gonna tell poor old Sidebottom

that you're gonna come see him again.

This is it.

Relax, Boober. We promise.

[Wembley] Mmm.

Weeba, weeba, waffa, waffa, garpox, gumbage, whoopee.

-Thank you. Mmm.

And now to Boober's dream.

[all] Yeah. -[Boober sighs]

[all sighing]

Okay. Everybody's heads together?

[all] Yeah.

[soft music playing] -Go, Boober. It's your dream.

-You start. -[Boober moans)
