In one of those recurring dreams she sees a familiar boy in the street, tries to catch him, and when he turns she discovers that he's a walking corpse (this kid would be the son that she lost in a miscarriage). Eventually Misty started to realize that there is AGlitchInTheMatrix, and struggles to wake up. To prevent that, the Puppet Master tried to induce fear by starting a dream where she is attacked by all her friends, to no avail.

* In ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' the ComicBook/ScarletWitch rearranged all reality into a world where mutants rule and everyone was living his ideal life. Wolverine realized that it was false, and started to gather heroes to stand against Wanda. They got the help of Layla Miller, who could make heroes remember their old life. She was a new character, and Dr. Strange even suspected that she was created by Wanda herself. Ultimately subverted, as Layla ''did'' exist before the whole House of M thing.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'': In the "Saving Captain Rogers" episode, an aged Baron Zemo hipnotized Captain America into believing that he was still fighting WWII, alongside Bucky, and against the first Baron Zemo (father of the modern one). The important part of that fantasy is when WWII Zemo captures Bucky and takes him to his lab, forcing Captain America to find the way to Zemo's secret lab. Outside the fantasy, the old Zemo had retrieved his father's castle but ignored how to access into the hidden lab, so the Captain did so for him. Once it is done, Zemo got the super soldier serum of his father that renewed his youth and gave him strength to stand to Iron Man and Black Widow, while leaving Captain America perpetually in that dream. As they fight, Captain America is worried that something is happening that is destroying the castle, and Bucky got trapped under one of the rocks. Bucky then told him: everything is a dream, he has to let it go, and return to the real world.

That despite the fact that she woke up from her coma midway through Book One. Then Book Four reveals that she actually didn't: in Book One, she merely used her RealityWarper powers to create a secondary body for herself--a kind of physical AstralProjection--while her real body is still in coma in a lab somewhere.

Our hero is not in the real world. He's inside a LotusEaterMachine, or just sleeping, unconscious or in a coma, and having a dream, while he should be awake and dealing with the things going on. Sometimes his friends will mount an OrpheanRescue and get inside the dream to make him aware of it, and then escape. But sometimes not. Sometimes it is a character ''from within the dream itself'' who tells the hero that everything is a dream, and that he has to leave. May involve a DreamWithinADream, and result in a CatapultNightmare. May have AnAesop about letting the past go, and not be trapped in nostalgia of the old days.

It is not always revealed before that point that the dream is a dream, so this trope may include spoilers.

* In ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' the ComicBook/ScarletWitch rearranged all reality into a world where mutants rule and everyone was living his ideal life. Wolverine realized that it was false, and started to gather heroes to stand against Wanda. They got the help of Layla Miller, who could make heroes remember their old life. It was a new character, and Dr. Strange even suspected that she was created by Wanda herself. Ultimately subverted, as Layla ''did'' exist before the whole House of M thing.

He asked them to reveal their faces: they are [[BettyAndVeronica Flopi and Chispa]], his two love interests in the real world.

Leela constantly blames herself, and keeps dreaming with Fry, who always ends the dream suddenly telling her to wake up. In the end, she ''does'' wake up... from a coma, and the nested DreamWithinADream. Fry was fine, next to her bed, and repeating all the time "you have to wake up".
* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'': In the "Saving Captain Rogers" episode, an aged Baron Zemo hipnotized Captain America into believing that he was still fighting WWII, alongside Bucky, and against the first Baron Zemo (father of the modern one). The important part of that fantasy is when WWII Zemo captures Bucky and takes him to his lab, forcing Captain America to find the way to Zemo's secret lab. Outside the fantasy, the old Zemo had retrieved his father's castle but ignored how to access into the hidden lab, so the Captain did so for him. Once it is done, Zemo got the super soldier serum of his father that renewed his youth and gave him strength to stand to Iron Man and Black Widow, while leaving Captain America perpetually in that dream. As they fight, Captain America is worried that something is happening that is destroying the castle, and Bucky got trapped under one of the rocks. Bucky then told him: everything is a dream, he has to let it go, and return to the real world.
