ST:TNG:131 - "Schisms" (Stardate: 46154.2) - this is the 5th episode of the 6th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
This episode continues the smart and rich writing that the 6th season is known for. Riker is having problems falling asleep, which Dr. Crusher thinks is caused by a lack of REM sleep (harkening back to the 4th season episode "Night Terrors").
However, what Dr. Crusher prescribed doesn't seem to be working. And other crew members (such as Worf and Geordi) also start feeling fatigued and remembering vague but threatening images based on objects aboard the Enterprise. Even Data has a lapse in time in his internal chronometer.
When the affected crew come together to try to piece together what was happening based on the objects they seem to remember, they use the holodeck to recreate it. And what they see is more horrifying than they can imagine.
Trivia note: watch out for Data's poetry reading, especially his "Ode to Spot" his cat! Also, Ken Thorley returns as Mr. Mott.
