A rarely stated, but fairly common, belief here is that some tropes are rigid, and that the only variation comes with PlayingWithATrope. Or some here think that most tropes are rigid, unless "Sliding Scale" is in the name. But it's not really true at all (also the reason we have Administrivia/TheSameButMore).
Even in the most narrowly defined {{Sub Trope}}s, there is plenty of room for variation, even when playing straight. And there can even be degrees of how the trope is applied, which is certainly the reason we don't allow Administrivia/TheSameButMore.
Two of the most common variations for a trope are the scale, and the importance in the story. But there are quite a few other ways to allow for trope variations.
The only actual thing rigid about tropes is the cutoff between one trope and another, or at least that is what we are striving for. Even when it involves {{Super Trope}}s and {{Sub Trope}}s, or if there is [[SisterTrope overlap with another trope]], those tropes are still separate.
So the next time you think a trope is separate from another trope, make sure the line is clear. If it's not, you didn't make a mistake, other than underestimate how flexible tropes are.

* AllJustADream has quite a broad scope. It can be used for a single scene (the use least likely to annoy fans), entire episodes, entire seasons (''{{Dallas}}''), or even [[MindScrew the entire series]] (''StElsewhere''). It can be a regular dream (''Film/TheWizardOfOz'') a [[CuckoosNest psychotic delusion]] told by an UnreliableNarrator (''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari'') or even a "simulation"(''FamilyGuy''; 6th season, episodes 4th and 5th). ''{{Newhart}}'' managed to make fun of this, ''and'' [[UpToEleven crank it up even further]] by claiming that series was the dream of a character (played by the same actor) in ''another series'' (namely ''TheBobNewhartShow'').
* XanatosGambit and BatmanGambit are both about specific types of ingenious plans. The thing is there is nothing saying they have to be of a certain scale. Using these plans could involve just getting a promotion from your boss, to [[TakeOverTheWorld world conquest]].
* In terms of MalevolentArchitecture, Console {{Roleplaying Game}}s tend to have loads of enemies, but rarely any hazards in the buildings, save for the occasional lava floor. On the other hand, ''TombOfHorrors'' is infamous for having loads of traps in every room.
* SexSells has a wide range, from just attractive people in a picture, to acts that just scream "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING]]?"
