Ah, Willow's drama class dream sequence I take it? I do adore the take on Giles' in Willow's drama nightmare. ;-) Actually if we're talking Willow's drama nightmare, then Nightmares has very strong parallels too.
YES TO ALL OF THIS. This is one of the reason I'm an S1 booster. The series isn't a masterpiece - yet - and the show is still finding it's voice/footing (and in some cases, trying to figure out who the characters are, esp Giles) but the foundation for EVERYTHING to come is laid down right in that first season. You don't have to love it but you can't disregard or dismiss it either.
And Nightmares is one of my favorite eps of S1, and one of the S1 eps I'd recommend to anyone watching the first time because of Willow's dream as you mention but most especially for Buffy's nightmares because that ep is basically the skeleton key to her character's greatest fears.
