And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning?

Questions:
- Do Charlotte and Daniel really not know anything? Are they just a Science Team?
- What was Claire seeing when she wasn't feeling well?
- Hey, Juliet, I thought you weren't a surgeon? So you can't remove a bullet, but you can perform an Appendectomy? What's next, Heart Surgery?
- Did Jack get sick for a reason? Was he not supposed to leave the Island?
- Why do some people get cured on the Island and some get sick?
- How and why is Christian Shephard appearing to Jack off Island?
- What did Charlie mean by telling Jack that he's not supposed to raise him?
- Is Jack not supposed to raise Aaron or someone else?
- What powers the DHARMA stations?
- Why does Christian appear to Claire? Why does she go with him?
- "Just watch your tone, Red." Rose
- "I don't say nice things about my dad? Well, he was a good storyteller. I'll give him that." Jack
- "Don't look at her. Don't talk to her. Don't mess with her. You got a restraining order. 20 feet." Sawyer "What are you, her big brother?" Miles
- "Do you think she knows he likes her?" Jin "She's a woman. She knows." Sun
- "Where do you suppose all this power's coming from?" Dan "Add that one to the list, Dan." Charlotte
- "If you continue to lie... I'm going to hurt your friend Daniel. I'm going to break his fingers one at a time. Do you understand that?" Jin
- "Wouldn't you rather be dreaming about something nice back home?" Bernard
- "I would like to be able to tell you you' not gonna feel a thing, but... you will." Juliet
- "You know, getting engaged is supposed to help reduce stress, not create it." Erika
- "Dad?" Claire
- "He should be fine. We just have to talk him into resting." Juliet "Good luck with that." Kate
- "I'd have followed them, but I have a restraining order." Miles
- Jack steps on a Millennium Falcon, which is yet another Star Wars reference.
- The toy can also be a reference to Sawyer, who had made several Star Wars references himself throughout the series. Jack also exclaims "Son of a bitch!" which is a Sawyer line.
- When Jack is seen shirtless in the flashforward, he has a scar where his appendix would be. Obviously this is shown for continuity, but there was a big deal made over the fact that Matthew Fox had shaved his chest and stomach for this episode, when he was clearly hairy previously. Kate also says that she bought Jack a razor in the same scene. Obviously the chest-shaving was done to show the scar from his surgery in this episode, which was revealed in the flashforward before we knew that it happened on the island.
- I always wonder what exactly Jack is responding to when he scoffs at the newspaper and exclaims "A-Rod."
- The Yankees/Red Sox series, to my memory, occurred in August of 2006.
- This is not my favorite episode ever. In fact, I think it's one of the weakest of Season 4. Maybe it's just that I don't enjoy Jack or Kate flashes so much anymore. I'd rather learn about characters that I don't know that much about yet. However, I love the scene with Hurley. Jorge Garcia's serious acting is so underrated.
- When Jack is supposed to work on someone with an L4 vertebrae problem, obviously he was familiar with it already, because he operated on Ben who had a tumor on his L4.
- Jack gets a prescription for Clonazepam. Hurley asked Sawyer for Clonazepam in Dave. He said he needed it so that he wouldn't see things. Now Jack is the one seeing things and taking pills.
- Jack is looking pretty freakin' crazy right here. This is one of Jack's craziest Crazy-Jack moments.
- The title comes from something Bernard says to Jack during the surgery, "dream of something nice back home."
- In Raised by Another, Richard Malkin told Claire that she was the only one who could raise the baby, but she wanted to give it up for adoption, when she decides not to, he then changed his story and told her that there was a couple in Los Angeles that would adopt the baby. He said "They're not strangers. They're good people." Now, there is a couple in Los Angeles raising Aaron. Was Richard Malkin somehow talking about Jack and Kate?
- You didn't save Kate, Jack. What the hell is wrong with you? Sawyer saved her more than you did.
- Why in the hell did Keamy bury Danielle and Karl's bodies face up, showing through the dirt? Not only is he a ruthless kill, but he's lazy too.
- Uh, usually the Smoke Monster beats the crap out of people and kills them. Those guys had a few scratches.
- Hurley states that someone will be visiting Jack as well, this is reminiscent to ghosts visiting Scrooge in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
- This episode was the second time Kate's identity was revealed in a shower scene. Not complaining.
- Sawyer's evolution to leader begins, and Jack's drug addiction begins.
- I dare you to name a Jack flashback/forward where Jack hasn't cried. Go ahead, find one.
