In the beginning of Act 4 scene 1, Titania is telling her fairies to do whatever her love, Bottom, would like. After the fairies do what they are told, Titania and Bottom fall asleep. Then, Oberon puts the juice from the second flower on Titania's eyes because the flower juice changes you back to what you were before. Titania wakes up and sees Oberon, and she wonders why she ever liked him. Easily, Oberon gets Titania to give the boy to him. Then, Theseus arrives with Hippolyta and Egeus. Theseus remembers that today is the day where Hermia must decide if she is going to marry Demetrius. He then sees the four people lying down and recognizes that it is Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena. They wake up. They all think they were in a dream together. Theseus then finds out that Demetrius doesn't like Hermia anymore, he loves Helena. Theseus thinks it would be stupid for a couple to get married if they don't really love each other. He over rules Egeus' request, and tells they two couples that they will be getting married too that day. The four leave. Bottom wakes up from a very wierd dream.
In Act 4 scene 2, the common men are wondering where Bottom is. They then say that it would be a terrible play if Bottom didn't come, because he is the heart of the play and is a great actor. Then Bottom appears and says he can't tell them something, but then he insists on telling them and then decides not to tell them about his dream. He then tells them that they will be performing in front of the Duke and that everybody must be ready.
