"How I Wet Your Mother" is the sixteenth episode of the twenty-third season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.
As it worsens, his family, with the help of Professor Frink, successfully manage to infiltrate his dreams to get to its subconscious source.
The episode was co-written by Billy Kimball and Ian Maxtone-Graham and has received positive reviews from critics.
They fall off a cliff pursuing Death, and Frink warns that dying in the dream could kill them in real life.
To prolong their time, they use the machine to enter Bart's dream where they are in their style from The Tracey Ullman Show.
Therapist B. F. Sherwood tells them to open the coffin, which starts filling the room with fish, so they enter Lisa's dream.

[1] Alison Willmore of IndieWire thought the episode made good use of the Inception parody by making Homer's mother appear in the limbo world.
She thought the exploration of Homer's mind was funny but felt South Park's parody of Inception was better done.
