Plot
Plot
Garfield devises a plan to combine breakfast, lunch, and dinner to free up more time for his other activities. He stuffs several pizzas, lasagnas, and bags of jelly donuts into a massive sandwich and consumes it. However, this proves to be too much for him, and he gradually falls asleep, initiating his nightmare. Garfield suddenly wakes up in a haunted castle. Instead of the real world, he has entered a surreal dream realm inhabited by monsters from his sub-conscious. Complicating matters further, Garfield had smashed his alarm clock in the real world. Now, his only hope of waking up lies in his ability to locate the shattered pieces and reassemble them.
