Frasier has a recurring dream where he's about to have sex with his co-worker Gil Chesterton and drives himself bonkers trying to find out the meaning of the dream.
Tropes:
- Cannot Keep a Secret: How Martin concludes there's no way Frasier could be secretly a repressed gay; he'd never have been able to keep a lid on it.
- Especially Zoidberg: When Frasier suggests that Martin didn't take him to see West Side Story because he worried that it might turn Frasier gay, Martin replies that he thought Frasier would be scared of the gangs. Frasier asks "Even gangs that dance?" to which Martin replies "Especially gangs that dance!"
- Erotic Dream: Frasier keeps having an Awkwardly Gay Dream about Gil which he spends the episode trying to analyse. Once he realises his unconscious mind is just trying to give him a puzzle to work on the dream changes to Sigmund Freud climbing into bed with him.
- Here We Go Again!: The episode ends with Frasier thinking he's licked the recurring Gil dream. Then as he falls asleep he has one about Freud showing up. Freud congratulates him on working out the problem... and tells him to get into bed.
- Loose Lips: Roz ends up telling people about Frasier's dream about Gil, much to his anger.
- That Came Out Wrong:
- Frasier and Niles workshop what the cause of Frasier's recurring dream must be, and initially decide that Gil, a food critic, is a metaphor for Frasier being too hard on himself about his diet. Happy that he has solved the problem, Frasier loudly declares that "Tonight there will be [...] no naked man in my bed!" Realising that the waitress was standing right behind him, he tries to disguise it as part of a joke.
- Later on Frasier - ever the Freud fan - decides it must be an Oedipus complex. This ends up with him saying triumphantly "all I want to do is have sex with my dead mother!" as one his neighbors comes out of the elevator.
