* ''Stay (1996)''
* Throughout ''[[Pan's Labyrinth|Pans Labyrinth]]'', there are strong suggestions that certain aspects of the plot may be All Just a Dream. [[Word of God]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20090228234339/http://twitchfilm.net/archives/008507.html debunks that possibility], though that same god also explicitly tells you not to listen to him so in the end it looks like nobody's happy.
* In ''[[The Shining]]'', it sometimes got difficult to tell what was real and what were projections of the family's minds. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110104151920/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=
* Subverted in ''[[The Butterfly Effect]]''. At one point near the end of the film it looks like the story is gonna go out with a [[Twist Ending]]. As Evan's doctor explains that there are no journals, he asserts that everything that we've apparantly seen so far is a delusion that Evan created to cope with the guilt of killing Kayleigh, describing alternate universes with colleges, prisons, and paraplegia. Then it turns out that the mental time travel ''was'' real when Evan goes back one last time.
* ''[[The Descent (film)|The Descent]]''. Did the crawlers exist, or was Sarah unable to handle the claustrophobia and stress of the already bad situation, causing her to imagine them and kill all her friends? All that can actually be said is that there was dreaming going on; where it started or ended is never made clear. (Their existence is confirmed in the sequel.)
