* Somebody suggests this to Brad at the end of ''[[The Sandman]]: Worlds' End''.

'''Dorothy:''' But it wasn't a dream. It was a place.
'''Auntie Em:''' We dream lots of silly things when we... }}
* At the end of ''[[Contact (film)|Contact]]'', Ellie is led to believe this -- but she's not told there's evidence that she ending''didn't''.
 
== Literature ==
* Susan, Peter, and Edmund disbelieve Lucy thoroughly early in [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]]'s ''[[Chronicles of Narnia|The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe]]'', but Susan and Peter are afraid that she is mentally disturbed, not lying.
* [[Discworld]]:
{{quote|'''Nanny''': Then I thought maybe I was imagining things.
'''Granny''': No point in imagining anything, Things are bad enough as they are. }}
* The supernatural is not believed in by many people of [[Robert E. Howard]]'s tales, so [[Conan the Barbarian]] and Howard's other heroes will usually hear this a lot when they encounter supernatural things, like in ''[[The Phoenix on the Sword]]'' and ''[[The Frost-Giant's Daughter|The Frost Giants Daughter]]''. Usually the protagonist does have some physical evidence that proves him right, like the title mark on his broken sword or a scrap of cloth from the title character's clothing.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Space: 1999]]'' episode "The Bringers of Wonder". Commander Keonig suddenly becomes irrational and is hooked up to an experimental machine. When a group of people from Earth arrive, Koenig sees them as monstrous aliens but the rest of the Alphans assume he's still hallucinating. Actually, the machine prevented the aliens from controlling his mind the way they did the rest of Moonbase Alpha.
* The ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' episode "Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead". The ghost of a dead soldier is wandering around the 4077th, and only a feverish Klinger is able to see him. When Klinger tries to tell the doctors about him, they ignore him.
