*'''Nonsensical literature''' - Some books, such as James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" and Mark Z. Danielewski's "House of leaves" do a remarkable job of emulating various components of how books tend to act in dreams. Such books and/or passages from them can serve both as examples of dream signs, and triggers to remember to reality check.

*'''Surrealist art''' - The surrealist movement was actually a direct attempt by artists to replicate the paradoxical experiences had while dreaming into various physical media~~, a~~ major player in the early movement André Breton summarized ~~it's~~ aim in the following quote: "I believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one may so speak."<ref>https://books.google.ca/books?id=12TuC9IkxKIC&q=resolution+of+these+two+states#v=snippet&q=resolution%20of%20these%20two%20states&f=false | Manifestoes of Surrealism</ref> For this reason many works of surrealist art can serve both as examples of dream signs, and triggers to remember to reality ~~check~~.
