When Leo becomes pregnant, his bump is twice the size of Piper's yet it's supposed to be the same baby. edit »
When two additional men appear next to the chainsaw man, one of them removes a crystal from the crystal cage, but the cage doesn't break completely, when the second man moves the other crystal, it does. But that's not possible, as shown in other episodes, the cage is supposed to completely break once one of the crystals is removed. edit »
When Leo heals Phoebe, she wakes up immediately, but the chainsaw man stays unconscious for a few more seconds. How is that possible? He was healed when Phoebe was healed (since they are connected somehow) so he shouldn't be lying there that extra time. Besides, it's always shown that when people are unconscious, once they're healed, they wake up immediately, so this is normally the case. edit »
When the clown "Slappy" is singing and dancing to Paige while still in the crystal cage, we can clearly see that his hands can get through the cage and are moving freely without the cage blocking them from getting out. edit »
At the beginning of the episode Piper's hand is moved by the Sandman but if he is in another plane, how it is possible that he can move things in their plane? edit »

Piper: Who would want to kill people's dreams? They're harmless, erotic fun!
Phoebe: Did you just say "erotic"?
Piper: Exotic! I said exotic! edit »
Piper (looking down at her non-pregnant belly): Hey! Where's my baby?

Slappy: Yuck! edit »
Paige: Phoebe, will you deal with your issues already. edit »
Tracer Demon: Prepare to die witches! (he notices the nightmares have been vanquished) Where are the dreams?

Title: Sand Francisco Dreamin'

This is a reference to the 1966 song, "California Dreamin'" by the Mamas and the Papas. Plus it's also a reference to the city of San Francisco, in which the series is set. edit »
Piper (to Leo, whose dream made him pregnant): Honey, we've got our own dreams to deal with, and the tracer. We'll deal with your Mr. Mom issues later.

A reference to the 1983 movie "Mr. Mom", in which Michael Keaton agrees to stay home with the kids while his wife, played by Teri Garr, goes to work. edit »
