Subject:    Bottom's Dream

I've been asked by a colleague whether the play A Midsummer Night's Dream has 
ever been equated with the dream from which Bottom awakens in 4.1 of the play, 
the one that he intends to have Peter Quince turn into a ballet. I was pretty 
sure that I had heard this argument before, but a search of "Bottom's Dream" in 
the World Shakespeare Bibliography did not allow me to identify any sources that 
discuss this idea. Can anyone point me toward a previous treatment of this notion?
