Line 22:
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[The Forever War]]'' the soldiers were given hypnotic conditioning where they were told and given (false) images of the aliens murdering and raping humans. They knew this was false but it enraged them anyway. A person's subconscious is a dangerous thing to play with.
* In Dante's ''[[Divine Comedy]]'', Helen of Troy in hell can be interpreted as having been this trope in life, rather than the passive object of desire she was in ''[[The Iliad (Literature)|The Iliad]]'': Dante gives her the full blame for the Trojan War, as if she got herself kidnapped by the Trojan prince on purpose in order to give her own nation an excuse to invade Troy.
 
== [[Music]] ==
Line 31:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In an episode of ''[[Men in Black (Animationanimation)|Men in Black]]'': The Series, J is trapped in a [[Lotus Eater Machine]] and L enters his mind to bring him back to reality. He resists her attempts to snap him out of it, so she lets herself get mortally wounded, telling him that unless he wakes up, she will die in reality as [[Your Mind Makes It Real]].
* An episode of [[The Incredible Hulk]] had Bruce Banner trapped under a pile of rubble and starting to die from a faulty tranquilizer. To make him turn into the Hulk and save himself, one of his friends pretends to be in danger.
