* AlternateHistory: Nathan’s dream features a Tree Hill where Dan returned home to marry Karen and raise Lucas, instead of staying with Deb and returning home after college. As such, a variety of changes are made to the Tree Hill viewers are familiar with:
** Lucas is the star player of the Tree Hill Ravens, and dating Peyton; Nathan is the outsider playing at the River Court and best friends with Haley.
** Nathan’s surname is Lee, his mother’s maiden name; in the real world, Karen still gave Lucas the Scott name.
** Karen’s Cafe, Tric and Dan Scott Motors don’t exist. They’re replaced by Keith Scott Motors, and a bar named Deb’s Den respectively.
** Dan is far from the respected business man and former Tree Hill Raven of the real world, as noted under ButtMonkey. It’s unclear how much is down to logically changing the character after he leaves college, and how much is Nathan’s subconscious embodying his resentment towards Dan.

'''"Lifetime Piling Up"''' is the twentieth episode of Season 2 of ''Series/OneTreeHill'' and originally aired May 10th, 2005. The episode was written by Creator/MarkBPerry and directed by Creator/LesButler.
Comatose after his accident at the race track, Nathan dreams of world where Dan chose to return to Tree Hill and raise Lucas with Karen, instead of marrying Deb - Lucas is the arrogant star of the Tree Hill Ravens, Nathan is the outsider playing at the River Court, and both boys are vying for a place at the prestigious High Flyers basketball camp. Meanwhile, in the real world, Nathan’s loved keep vigil at his bedside.
! Contains examples of the following tropes:
* AllJustADream: The vast majority of the episode is spent in Nathan’s coma dream, and it makes no effort to hide this.
* ButtMonkey: Dan in Nathan’s dream. Lucas doesn’t respect him ''at all'': he’s married to Karen, but she’s cheating on him with Keith; instead of running Dan Scott Motors, he works under Keith at ''his'' dealership; and finally, he’s the Ravens assistant coach, but it’s quite clear that Whitey doesn’t respect him.
* CallBack: Several moments and scenes from earlier episodes of the series are revisited and reimagined with Nathan and Lucas’ roles reversed.
** From [[Recap/OneTreeHillS1E01Pilot the Pilot]]:
*** Nathan is nearly hit by Peyton’s car while returning home from the River Court. However, whilst Peyton was driving the car in the original scene, Lucas is the driver and Peyton is in the passenger seat.
*** Nathan and Lucas face off in a basketball game at the River Court, with the underdog winning.
*** Before making the winning basket, Nathan says "This is for my mom", the same thing said by Lucas during the initial game.
** From "[[Recap/OneTreeHillS1E03AreYouTrue Are You True?]]":
*** Nathan giving Haley the crackerjack bracelet is recreated. Notably, this is one of the few reimagined scenes not to flip Lucas and Nathan’s involvement.
*** Tim suggests Lucas seduce Haley and then break her heart to get to Nathan, but Lucas writes it off as a stupid idea; in reality, Nathan went along with that plan.
*** Lucas and the team abducting Nathan and throw him in a swamp.
** Haley makes a reference to her tattoo of Nathan's jersey number, 23, which was first seen in "[[Recap/OneTreeHillS1E18ToWishImpossibleThings To Wish Impossible Things]]."
** Peyton’s break up with Nathan from "[[Recap/OneTreeHillS1E04CrashIntoYou Crash Into You]]" is recreated with Lucas in Nathan’s place.
** Keith refers to Dan as 'boozy', a nickname Dan gave him in "[[Recap/OneTreeHillS1E05AllThatYouCantLeaveBehind All That You Can’t Leave Behind]]."
** Whitey cancelling practice is recreated from "[[Recap/OneTreeHillS1E10YouGottaGoThereToComeBack You Gotta Go There to Come Back]]" but with the amended justification of the Ravens’ behaviour needing to be kept in check.
* MusicalNod: Several songs from the Pilot are reused as the episode reimagines those scenes.
* TitledAfterTheSong: The title of the episode is taken from the song "Lifetime Piling Up" by Music/TalkingHeads.
