Trivia
Aang's outfit in his first dream fight scene is an homage to Dragon Ball Z (1989). His second dream fight costume is an homage to Vash the Stampede from Trigun (1998). In the third, he is wearing his traditional airbender clothes. In the final dream, the costume is meant to mirror Ozai's. In Aang's hallucination where Momo and Appa have a sword battle, Momo is dressed like the comic book character Miyamoto Usagi.

Goofs
Team Avatar make Aang a bed of Koala sheep wool to sleep on. Initially it is shown as a two joined circles but in the closing scene it is just a single circle.

Quotes
Aang: [second dream] Your days of tyranny are over, Fire Lord. I'm bringing you down. And this time I brought pants.
Fire Lord: So it seems. But are you prepared for your... mathematics test?
Aang: [Panicking] Math test? Oh, no! I forgot all about the math test.

It's silly but I like it

When I review The Chase, I commented that it was a lot more mature than you would expect a Nickelodeon episode whose moral was the importance of sleep to be (you'd expect something like Beddy Bye from The Fairly OddParents). This is another episode with the same moral but I cannot say the same thing about this episode that I did about The Chase.

It's silly, corny and bizarre. I personally find it funny and as such enjoy the episode but if you're the kind of person who doesn't find a fun light-hearted episode with SpongeBob SquarePants levels of logic funny then you probably won't like this episode.

That said, this episode isn't filler. If you want to follow the show's storyline pay attention to the Zuko scenes. (In the interests of keeping this review spoiler free, that's all I'll say.)
