Line 163:
* An episode of ''[[Charmed]]'' featured a man who could enter dreams, and when women rejected him he killed them there.
* In a recent episode of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Matt telepathically enters Angela's mind to free her from her comatose state. {{spoiler|Arthur}} uses HIS telepathy to put an image of Daphne in Matt and Angela's shared mind world thingy. This imaginary Daphne stabs Matt in the stomach. When this happens, the real world Daphne, who's right next to Matt, realizes that Matt has a stab wound right where mind-Daphne stabbed him. However, when Angela (trapped in her own mind) convinces {{spoiler|Arthur}} (who personally entered her mind near the end) to free her and Matt, Matt awakes and the stab wound is gone.
* In one episode of ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' Thethe camp runs out of painkillers. All the doctors get together to convince the pain-wracked patients that these "sugar pills" are very new, very effective painkillers. It works.
** It is called the placebo effect.
* ''[[Fringe]]'' had an episode where a man was killed when a drug convinced him that an assassin was slicing his throat causing a slash through his neck to appear in real time.
