Opening this and leaning towards cut unless anyone has objections.

Snippity snip. Cut.
Keeper of The Celestial Flame
Most of the examples aren't using it as a Stock Phrase or dialogue trope. That said, I think there may be other tropes that might cover them better.
Cassandra Truth seems to cover anything here that is not a Zero Content Example.
The concept, other characters dismissing something (with varying honesty) by claiming it was imagined may be a viable subtype, but as it stands, there is nothing worth salvaging here.
+1 for cut.

Hi
Calling — chop chop.
Dewicked the trope and submitted to the cutlist.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
The page has now been cut, so hollering for a lock.

Please remember to list threads on the discussion page when cutlisting a page in the future, thanks.
Locking, anyway.

Crown Description:
You Imagined It
The current page is nothing but a Stock Phrase for dream scenarios. We have a whole list of tropes to cover this: All Just a Dream, Or Was It a Dream?, and Lotus-Eater Machine, to name just a few. The description even mentions that "This can cover the entire range from All Just a Dream through Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane to The Masquerade".
For reference, this page seems to have been launched with zero hats back in 2010. In that time it has acquired 34 wicks and 26 inbound links.
I think the page should be cut.
