The Impossible Dream
Frasier tells Roz he’s bored with the quality of the callers he’s been counseling lately. He misses the calls from people who are “teetering on the brink of disaster.” Yet Frasier’s own recurring sexual dreams about radio food critic Gil Chesterton have begun to weigh on his mind.
After Roz blurts out Frasier’s strange dreams to the whole station, he decides to tell Niles in the hopes that his brother might have an answer. Frasier and Niles ponder the psychological reasons behind the dream: is Frasier gay, or is it simply the result of some suppressed childhood trauma? Frustrated and sleepless, Frasier queries Martin about his childhood, but Martin assures Frasier that there are no secrets in his past.
Wired by coffee and his compulsive need to psychoanalyze his dreams, Frasier realizes that they are probably tied to the lack of excitement he’s experiencing at work, and decides that he is simply making them up to challenge his mind. Content with his analysis of the situation, Frasier goes to bed that night and sleeps peacefully -- until he is awakened once again by another dream!
