"Dream of Love" was written and storyboarded by Somvilay Xayaphone and Bert Youn, from a story developed by series creator Pendleton Ward, Patrick McHale, and Kent Osborne [REF].
Ron Lynch reprises his role as Mr. Pig in the episode; after the completion of "Apple Thief", Ward wanted Mr. Pig to come back because he felt that both the character and Lynch's voice acting were funny [REF].
