In Scene 1 of Act 4, Bottom relaxes while Cobweb, Peaseblossom, and Mustardseed cater to his every need. As Titania spoils him some more, you can see that Bottom's wants are become those of a donkey's. Titania sends the other fairies away, and then, when Bottom and Titania have fallen asleep, Oberon begins to pity Titania, because he is the one who has put this spell on her. Oberon orders Robin to squeeze the reversing juice onto Titania's eyes and instantly, she wakes up, and thinks that her previous love for Bottom was a dream. Oberon orders Puck to take the donkey head off of Bottom. Hippolyta, Egeus, Theseus and his servants enter the woods to find Demetrius, Helena, Hermia and Lysander asleep on the ground. When the awaken, they explain themselves, Theseus accepts their explanation, and announces that Demetrius and Helena, and Lysander and Hermia are to get married. They then follow Theseus away. Bottom wakes up and starts ranting about his dream and how he will have it turned into a ballad (and blah blah blah...).
In Scene 2 of Act 4, the middle-class men start to get anxious because the can't find Bottom and they begin to talk about how awesome (?) he is . Here we find out that the couples have already gotten married. Then Bottom enters, to the middle-class men's delight, and convinces them to do the show anyway.
