Plot

SpongeBob has a strange dream. He dreams that he's in a hot rod and he got his driver's license. Mrs. Puff also appears in this dream and tears out SpongeBob's license, and right after he is somehow 'propelled' out of SpongeBob's dream cloud, he sees his real self. He realises that he has no dream to go to, until he sees Gary's dream cloud. He jumps in, frightening Gary. He is in a vast library, and Gary appears to be humanoid and can speak English. SpongeBob goes out of Gary's dream cloud and into Patrick's. He is on a kiddy ride that costs 25 cents per ride. SpongeBob explains to him that in a dream, he can do whatever he wants. He demostrates by turning into a skyscraper and making a million identical copies of himself. Patrick says he's already satisfied, and SpongeBob goes out of Patrick's dream cloud. Next, he goes to Squidward's dream cloud and sees what's going on. He's performing a clarinet solo in a theatre, set in the 1700s because of the theme. He distracts the king and Squidward stops, and the king growls at him for not playing. After this happens several times, Squidward is so angry that he snaps his clarinet, but SpongeBob saves him by turning into a clarinet. It produces no sound, but SpongeBob just sings, and everybody applauds. SpongeBob goes to a different dream, this time Sandy's. They are skydiving, and they have to land on a painted target. SpongeBob asks if it's safe, and Sandy says "Yeah, as long as you have a parachute". SpongeBob says "I've got one!", then Sandy replies "Not a pair-of-shoes! A parachute!". Again, SpongeBob misenterprets the message, and holds up a bird cage. Sandy says "Not a parakeet, a para- (Just after saying this, she lands in a clam manure truck) medic... He goes to what he thinks is Mr. Krab's dream, but actually is Pearl's dream. After realizing this, he immediately goes to Mr. Krabs dream, where he's fishing money. He accidentally lets all the money in his wallet in the ocean, and he is shot out of his dream cloud and into Plankton's. Plankton, in his dream, is bigger than the buildings and has laser-eyes. SpongeBob pokes him with a pin and Plankton deflates, and wakes up. Everyone is in his house complaining that he's messed up their dreams, until Patrick comes up and asks "Does anyone have a quarter?"

Trivia

The episode Sleepy Time is perhaps most notable for revealing a large amount of information about SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs that was previously not known. The reason new information is revealed is because SpongeBob and Mr. Krab's drivers license are first seen in this episode. The second time was in No Free Rides (Only SpongeBob's).

"Moby Dollar" is a parody of "Moby Dick."
The name that Squidward had in his dream, Wolfgang Amadeus Tentacles, is a pun off Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a famous musician.
This is the only episode in which Gary actually speaks.
In a commentary for the DVD, either Tom Kenny or Stephen Hillenburg said that Gary looked like a Talosian (from Star Trek) in his dream.
In one scene, when Gary and SpongeBob are walking along the library, a book is shown close up. On the cover, the title says "Of Snails and Men", a referrence to the book, Of Mice and Men.
When a dreaming SpongeBob exits his dream and is in the real world, he sees himself, still asleep, which means he's still dreaming. This may be another casual loop.
This is the fourth time that Mr.Krabs is in SpongeBob's House.
This episode shows a lot of evidence of Lucid Dream, Astral Projection, and/or OoBE as SpongeBob is fully aware that he is dreaming (he said so to Patrick and Pearl), aware that he could change the dream environment as he wishes (he changed himself to a pin when Plankton tried to squashed him flat), travelling to others dream, and seeing himself sleeping on the bed.
