More hypnagogia than dream
We were adventurers in an isekai and eating at a tavern when we were stereotypically approached by some beefy tough guys looking for trouble.

Tupper was nibbling on chicken drumsticks and with a full mouth told them fuck off, I'm eating!
They quickly turned and ran.

Which made them smarter than they looked, as they realized their position. Don't disturb the tupper while eating. It's like trying to take food from a leopard. A very bad idea. You'll get eaten too.
