From: Action Comics #286-287 (March-April 1962)
Krypto, why are you hounding Superman at Perry White's beck and call?! It happened in Action Comics #287, when a narcoleptic Superman started causing mayhem. Well, it's all a bad dream from which Superman is eventually awakened by Krypto's super-licks.
All part of an alien plot to make Superman ignore their invasion as just another dream. Of course.
But let's go back a month to Action Comics #286, where this scheme actually started. And Krypto was part of its inception.
Pacified by Green Kryptonite, he is subjected to various pieces of Red Kryptonite by the Superman Revenge Squad to see which mineral they should expose Superman to. Red K #1 turns you into a phantom. Red K #2?
Tiger stripes! Red K #3?
Makes Kryptonians have dream about nightmarish adventures in the future. So specific. But you gotta play the Red K hand you were dealt.
Now I'm going back to sleep.
