* WhamEpisode: At the end of Chapter 7 Jaune ends up in the dream of [[spoiler:Amber, who is apparently still conscious in the hidden pod keeping her alive in Beacon]].
** in chapter 9 he ends up in a dream featuring a young brown hair girl and her pink haired sister. As the dream ends we learn one of the girl's is named Trivia. The name likely means little to most readers[[spoiler:, but more would recognize the name she eventually chose for herself: Neopolitan.]]

* JerkassRealization: Weiss spells out to Jaune in her dream that his pursuit of her isn't cute and endearing, it's actively making her life worse. The bottom line is that she isn't interested and nagging won't change that, but by putting her on the spot in public over and over he forces her to be the bad guy rejecting him, with bystanders and even their other friends sympathizing with him and putting the blame on her for raining on his parade. Weiss has come to dread seeing him at all, because interacting with him almost always ends up reflecting badly on her when she already struggles to make social connections. Jaune is mortified by how thoughtless he's been this whole time, and next time they're together he (publicly, to make it fair) apologizes for his behavior and promises she won't have to deal with that from him anymore.

** Chapter 6 shows that this is extends to forcibly stopping the direction of a dream if Jaune actively draws his Aura to do so, something he was forced to do to end the nightmare Ruby was having since it was forcing his dream self to say hurtful things playing on Ruby's insecurities.

* PowerIncontinence: Jaune can apparently only enter others' dreams when he himself is asleep, and on account of being asleep he has no conscious control of what he's doing and invades a dream randomly. Once he's ''in'' a dream he's lucid, though, so he can make deliberate choices how to use that power within it.

* PrimalScene: The first half of Velvet's dream ends up almost being this, apparently based on a real memory, and she's only spared reliving it because Jaune urges dream-her to let ''him'' check out the weird noises coming from her mom's bedroom. He cracks open the door to find said mother... along with an unrelated man and a camera operator.[[note]] According to Velvet, her "being in movies" is something she had to do to pay the bills since their divorce, and an author's note elaborates that having to take care of a young child alone meant that she wasn't getting most of the income she normally would as an active-duty Huntress[[/note]]. Jaune shuts the door before Velvet can see for herself.

* TheTease: Yang is very appreciative of the changes in attitude Jaune shifts into out of respect for what he learns about the girls since it makes him unwittingly look confident yet sensitive and eventually becomes attracted to him. This eventually leads to her blatantly flirting with and teasing him by Chapter Seven, which she doesn't deny when Blake and Weiss point it out. Jaune, [[ObliviousToLove naturally]], assumes it's ''only'' teasing.

* SecretKeeper: Jaune resolves to keep what deeply personal information he learns about those whose dreams he inadvertently invades to himself as much as possible, a sentiment echoed by Oobleck who also requests Jaune to minimize the details of the dreams in their already private sessions as he has no desire to learn about his students' personal secrets as well.

** Jaunce's semblance gives him a minor version of this, allowing him to create things to interact with the dreamer's world at the cost of his aura.

* CallBack: When Yang and Blake express how Jaune surprised them (and everyone else) by punching Cardin when he used to just quietly take the bullying before, Nora says that she was not surprised and that she's always known Jaune was [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass secretly a beast.]] Though it's not called out as such in the narration, this is an obvious consequence of when Jaune ended up fighting Grimm with Nora in her nightmare the first time he started entering dreams.

* PowerPerversionPotential: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Jaune doesn't mind when he finds himself in a sexy dream featuring a bunch of his friends, but the minute he realizes that dream is Blake's and he's intruding on it, the whole idea just makes him feel scummy. Animal parts of his mind still want to, but Jaune makes it Rule #1 of his dream jaunts that he will ''not'' take advantage of anyone in their own subconscious.

** Franchise/{{Alien}}: pokes it's head over the opposite side of the couch as Jaune and little!Velvet watch a children's movie. Since it seems to be waiting for Velvet to notice, Jaune puts his hand so Velvet can't see it.

** In addition to the above, Zombies, Giant Spiders, other assorted movie villains and monsters, and ''the apocalypse'' happen as Velvet falls asleep nestled against Jaune's side. He notes she ''really'' needs to cut back on the movies.

* CreepyDoll: While babysitting Velvet, who took the form of her child self in her dream, Jaune fends off a wide variety of stock horror creatures, among which is one of these. Jaune, [[NoJustNoReaction absolutely having none of that]], punts the doll straight past the next house over.

* DramaticIrony: Jaune is in a position of not knowing hardly anything about his friends' histories, but the reader does through watching the show or reading Coeur's other fics. He's left confused by the incomplete information their dreams present him, and he and Oobleck speculate how much of the imagery might be literal versus metaphotical versus random nonsense. Meanwhile the reader can pretty easily figure out most of them with the meta knowledge they have.
