After combing through hundreds of “sweet dreams” comebacks, these 10 emerged as crowd favorites. From cheeky to cute, check out our top picks and when to deploy each sassy reply:

1. They’ll be sweet with you in them 😉

This flirty line implies you find the recipient attractive and would enjoy dreaming about them. Perfect for:

• New matches/someone you’re interested in
• Sparking a playful back-and-forth
• Setting an intimate tone before meeting up

But don’t use if:

• You want to keep things friendly
• Text history shows they don’t reciprocate flirting

2. I bet I’ll dream about those gorgeous eyes/lips tonight

An imagination-sparking way to pay a compliment before bed. Works well when:

• Flirting with someone you know finds you attractive too
• You genuinely admire a facial feature of theirs

Avoid if:

• It’s someone you’re not interested in romantically
• They have not shown interest back

3. Sleep tight, don’t let the zombies bite!

A funny twist on the classic “don’t let the bedbugs bite.” Ideal for:

• Lightening the mood with friends/family
• Showing your quirky personality to new matches

Don’t use when:

• You want to be flirty/romantic with a crush or partner

4. Mmm I’ll be picturing that hot bod 😉

Amp up intimacy with this cheeky tease about imagining their physique tonight. Good if:

• You’re already in a sexual relationship
• They previously flirted about your body

Don’t send if:

• You haven’t gotten physically intimate yet
• Their signals show disinterest in escalation

5. Did you cast a sweet dreams spell on me?

A magical line implying they seem charming enough to fill your dreams. Works if:

• Developing a new connection with romantic potential
• You dig their quirky personality

Avoid if:

• Trying to transition a current friendship into more
• They have friend-zoned you

6. New phone, who dis?

For those wanting an extra savage shutdown, this classic line always delivers. Ideal when:

• Their text is an unwelcome/random reach-out
• You feel like being a blunt to someone annoying

Don’t send if:

• It’s your boss/parent/VIP contact
• You want to avoid burning bridges

7. Can’t promise they’ll be sweet…or innocent 😉

Amp up anticipation of scandalous dreams with this steamy tease. Good for spicing things up when:

8. Did you text your booty call list by accident?

This savage clapback calls out feeling like you were an afterthought text blast. Ideal when:

Don’t send if:

• Your reaction is too harsh for the context

9. Sweet dreams, babe! Love you 🙂

Short, sweet and affectionate – this warm reply nurtures intimacy. Use when:

• In a steady, serious relationship
• Your partner adores cute pet names

Avoid if:

• You just started seeing each other
• They don’t reciprocate “I love you’s” yet

10. Can’t wait to tell you about my crazy dreams tomorrow!

This friendly line continues an existing convo for later. Great for:

• Developing new friendships and relationships
• Plans to meet up again soon

Don’t send if:

• Their text seemed like a late-night “I’m thinking of you”

How to Reply to a Guy

So a handsome fella just hit you with the classic “sweet dreams” text. Should you play it cool or respond more cheekily? Here’s how to craft replies based on your dynamic and intentions:

If it’s a crush/new match:

Flirt back! Try a spicy but sweet line like “Dreaming about those sexy lips tonight ;)” or ask to hang out again soon. Show interest, while assessing if he reciprocates.

If it’s a friend/the friend zone:

Keep it cute not heat-seeking with a warm response like “Aww thanks, sleep tight!” or a funny comeback about having weird dreams. Steer clear of flirty jokes to avoid mixed signals.

If it’s your boyfriend:

Have fun getting intimate from afar! Send something steamy like “Thinking of all the places I want those lips!” or affectionate like “Love you baby, can’t wait to cuddle tomorrow.”

If it’s an ex:

Proceed with caution! A late night “sweet dreams” text from an ex usually means they’re feeling nostalgic. But does reconnecting align with your boundaries and goals? Take time to consider before responding flirtatiously.

How to Reply to a Girl

When your female crush, friend or gal pal sends this sleepy-time message, craft your comeback based on what you want from her:

If you wanna date her:

Hint at romantic interest with a line like “Hope I’m in those sweet dreams tonight ;)” or suggest meeting for an activity you both enjoy. Just don’t be too aggressive if she’s given no signals.

If you adore the friend zone:

Keep it friendly! Try something like “8 hours of beauty sleep coming your way!” or a funny meme. Show you value her platonically without muddying the waters.

If she’s your girlfriend:

Remind her why she fell for you! Send a loving text like “Counting down to our next sleepover. Miss you babe!” or get cheeky with a flirty request for pics. Just respect her boundaries.

If she’s an ex:

Figure out her motives before responding suggestively. Is she just being polite or hoping to rekindle? Make sure you’re on the same page about boundaries if you want to flirt.

When Someone Unexpected Says “Sweet Dreams”

Got a “sweet dreams” text from a random colleague, distant relative or someone you can’t stand? Try these ways to craft a polite yet boundary-setting reply:

• Keep it simple with just “You too.”
• Wish them well without reciprocity: “Hope you sleep great!”
• Kindly clarify wrong number if necessary
• Redirect back to professional relationship

The key is avoiding mixed signals while steering the convo back to appropriate territory.

What Not to Reply

While spicing things up via text can be fun, you also want to avoid uncomfortable mix-ups or misunderstandings. Steer clear of these cringe-worthy replies:

• Anything sexually explicit
• Inside jokes they’re not privy to
• Tangents unrelated to wishing them well
• One-word snubs like “K” or “lol”
• Anything passive aggressive

The basics of good text etiquette still apply, even for late night banter!

Conclusion

At the end of the day, how you respond to “sweet dreams” depends on your relationship and intentions. Getting creative with a flirty, funny or sassy comeback is a great way to spark smiles and stand out from boring “you too” replies.

Hopefully this extensive guide gave you plenty of witty, savage and cheeky inspo to try next time someone wishes you a good sleep! Mix, match and tweak based on the vibe you want to create.

Most importantly, have fun seeing where a playful late night exchange might lead! But ensure you feel safe, respected and set clear boundaries.
