Freudian SleepEpisode Number: 254 Season Num: 11 First Aired: Tuesday February 3, 2004 Prod Code: 257 |
Frasier grows depressed because no one is calling into his show. He mistakenly believes that Martin is inviting him along on his weekend in the mountains with Ronee, failing to realize that Martin was actually talking to Eddie. Niles and Daphne also come along after Niles overhears a sarcastic remark by Ronee and mistinterprets it as an invitation. Frasier is plagued by anxieties and cannot sleep during the trip. He first dreams that he has killed Niles and married Daphne. Niles mocks him for having such a simple dream, which he says is clearly a sign that he envies his brother's life. Frasier also has a nightmare about his problems with the show. Niles dreams about being a bad father, while Daphne suffers a nightmare in which she continually gains weight and Niles fools around with other women. Martin also has an unusual dream in which he chides his family members for letting their worries overcome them, before bursting into a song and dance number about his positive attitude. Unlike the other Cranes, Martin sleeps soundly.

Martin performs the jazz standard "On the Sunny Side of the Street," written by Fields/McHugh.

Martin: I've got a bullet in my hip, a girlfriend who's too good for me and will probably realize that any day, a dog who's almost 80 in human years and I'm not far behind him. But I don't complain about it, because I try to think about the good things.
(edit) Martin: Blah, blah, blah. (to Daphne) You're going to lose your looks? Happens to everyone. (to Frasier) You're afraid you're going to end up alone? You'll still have your family. (to Niles) You're afraid you're going to be a bad father? Join the club. Now just clam it up and go to bed.
(edit) Frasier: At least you two can face your fears together. Whom do I have to hug away my nighttime terrors, hmm?
Daphne: Oh, boo-hoo, send yourself some flowers.
Frasier: I beg your pardon? That's a rather flippant comeback, when I express myself...
(edit) Daphne: Bless him. He's on top of everything around here.
Frasier: (contemplating his chess set) You know, I really miss playing with Niles. He's so busy sleeping with other women.
Daphne: What did you say?
Niles: (re-entering) Have you seen Dad?
(Daphne has expanded yet again. She is truly huge, and her face now
also shows it)
Daphne: Do you still think I'm beautiful?
(edit) Daphne: You're so different from your brother.
Frasier: Really? How so?
Daphne: Well, for one thing... you're alive.
(They both laugh heartily)

(edit)
The episode title is an obvious pun on the term "Freudian Slip", which is not all that accidental here, as Freud believed that slips of the tongue as well as dreams provided insight into a person's true feelings and character.
