When a character tells a story or has a dream of a completely unrelated event in which people they already know fill in for the roles of the story. This is something of a Truth in Television because people do tend to have people they know in their dreams. There’s even a theory that all the people in such dreams are like this - it's just that we don't remember them all because some of them are just random people we've briefly seen at some time in our life, such as a stranger on a bus ride. Subtrope of And You Were There. See also Visions of Another Self and Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue". Frequently overlaps with Whole-Plot Reference, especially Off to See the Wizard, which is one of the most famous examples. (And the source of this page’s name, of course.) For when a dream is literally being shared by all the characters, it's a Shared Dream. If someone invokes this in a Ghost Story to scare the listener, it's a Scarily Specific Story, although not all Scarily Specific Stories involve this trope. |

Arabian Nights (2000 mini-series): When Scheherazade tells Shahryar the tale of the Sultan and the Beggar, Shahryar pictures himself as the tormented and possibly mad Beggar, his brother as the cruel Sultan, and his principled but loyal Grand Vizier Ja'Far as the cruel Sultan's principled but loyal Grand Vizier. There's also the moment where Scheherezade has been telling the story of Ali Baba, including the slave girl Morgiana, who Shahryar says sounds a lot like her. Though in this case Scheherezade says, "Oh, no, she wasn't like me at all," and the face of Morgiana actually changes from being the same actress as Scheherezade to being someone else. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch novels: Unity revisits the "Benny Russell" hallucination/vision (see below) when Elias Vaughn has an orb vison in which he's Eli Underwood, committed to the same institution as Benny Russell, with other characters introduced in the novels as staff and patients. At the end, Underwood and Russell leave the asylum together, symbolising Sisko returning from the Celestial Temple. Later books also revisit this reality, most notably Revalation and Dust, in which Kira had a vision of being Kay Eaton after being lost in the wormhole. Kira also had an orb vision in the novel Warpath where she was an ancient Bajora general, with the rest of the DS9 crew as her warband; her adjunct Jamin, Shirab the apothecary, etc. Even their riding beasts have names that are anagrams of runabouts! |

The Simpsons has done a few episodes like this. The original "Treehouse of Horror" featured a sequence based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", with Homer as the narrator and Bart as the titular bird. This was later done in "Simpsons Bible Stories", "Simpsons Tall Tales", "Tales from the Public Domain", "Margical History Tour", and "Simpsons Christmas Stories", which all tell famous stories with a Simpsons twist. In "Bart Gets Hit by a Car", the end of The Wizard of Oz is parodied when Bart regains consciousness. He points out everyone standing around the hospital bed like Dorothy until he spots someone he doesn't remember from his dream of the afterlife: ambulance-chasing lawyer Lionel Hutz. |

Being A ΔΙΚ: The visuals for the Dungeons and Gremlins game in "True Colors", as presumably imagined by the MC, has most of the cast show up as characters in the game. Apart from the player party (the MC, Josy, Maya, Jill and Sally), Quinn shows up as Moria, Sage as Princess Nadia, and Isabella (returns) as the Ice Queen. Other characters include Cathy as the fruit merchant, Jade as the barmaid, Camila as the potter, Riona as the blacksmith, Sarah and Melanie as the bar wenches, Wendy, Dany, and Linda as the ogres, Dawe, Anthony, and Alex as the "lowlifes", and Arieth as the sewer monster. Tybalt also makes a small cameo if you try to chat up Jill, showing up as a horse. | |

Moon Knight: Played With. In "The Tomb," it seems as if Marc was actually in an asylum and hallucinated the events of the series. "Layla" is another patient, "Steven Grant" is a character on a TV show he watches, and "Harrow" is his psychiatrist. It's revealed in the next episode that Marc actually died and the asylum is how he visualizes the afterlife. | |

An episode of Azumanga Daioh uses this: Osaka, Tomo, Sakaki and Kaorin have dreams in the New Year's morning involving their friends. In all of them, Chiyo-chan made an appearance - not to mention Chiyo-dad's formal debut in Sakaki's dream. | |

The X-Files: In "Triangle", Mulder discovers the luxury liner Queen Anne in the Devil's Triangle, only it's back in World War II and his friends and enemies are spies, sailors or Nazi soldiers fighting over the vessel. Various aspects of their 'contemporary' selves are reflected: Skinner is apparently a Nazi but turns out to be on Mulder's side, Assistant Director Kersh is shown chained in the engine room, forced to steer the course set by the CSM who is naturally the Nazi Big Bad. Scully is a spy who is initially skeptical of Mulder's claims to be one of the good guys, yet comes through for him in the end. Scully also reflects Mulder's unrequited feelings for her — she wears a red cocktail dress but punches Mulder in the jaw when he gives her a Now or Never Kiss. In the end Mulder wakes up in a hospital bed surrounded by his friends, including A.D. Skinner who responds "Yeah, and my little dog Toto" when Mulder says gives the trope line. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine In "Distant Voices", Dr. Bashir is subjected to a psychic attack by the Villain of the Week. Members of DS9 appear as various aspects of Bashir's personality, but Bashir eventually realises that alleged Cardassian spy Garak isn't any of them—he's actually his attacker in disguise. The real Garak's reaction to being cast as the villain by Bashir's subconscious is humorously typical of him. Not a dream or a story, but a hallucination in the episode "Far Beyond the Stars". Sisko sees himself as a writer named Benny in the mid-20th century and the other characters look like his acquaintances and are played by their actors. The Benny Russell reality is revisited in "Shadows and Symbols", in which Russell is in an asylum, with Damar's counterpart as his doctor. |

Arthur: Used in "D.W.'s Name Game" with an Or Was It a Dream? twist when a character that was original to the dream appeared outside D.W.'s window. In "Rhyme For Your Life", Binky dreams that he's in a town where everyone speaks in rhyme. Not all his dream characters resemble people he knows, but a few do. For example, the eccentric scientist resembles Mr. Ratburn, and his daughter Clementine resembles D.W. "Mei Lin Takes a Stand" has the 'story' variation. In the story the fleas tell, the main character Princess Lemini looks like Mei Lin, the villain Meno looks like Nemo, Lap the jester looks like Pal, and Dr. Baba Katie looks like Kate. The story version is invoked in "Draw", where the kids draw comics and deliberately make the characters look like themselves and each other and in "I'd Rather Read it Myself", where D.W. bases characters in her story upon herself and people she knows. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time inverts this trope by having several real world characters (Malon, Talon, Kaepora Gaebora) that are based on characters that originally appeared in a dream in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Marin, Tarin, Owl). The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Link finds himself in a world populated by people who look like those he knows, but have different names and personalities. In this case, it's not a dream but an alternate reality. |

In Fellowship! The Musical, The Balrog sings a lounge act entitled The Balrog Blues, about how he was woken up from a "delightful little dream". His description of the dream parodies this - while pointing at members of the audience, he says: "well you know, you were there, and you were there..." Astoundingly, they took it to the next level by having him say this exact line on the CD, and then calling out the person listening to the CD by adding, "And you were there, and y... who the hell are you? Why don't you get out of your mom's basement and get a job? Sheesh." | |

Peter Pan: It's a tradition on stage that Captain Hook and Mr. Darling are played by the same actor. Peter Pan, the musical, continues the tradition. As does Peter Pan Goes Wrong, although by the end of the play, Chris has got his costumes mixed up and thus Mr. Darling has a hook. |

Hilariously parodied in the "A Fistful of Yen" segment of The Kentucky Fried Movie, complete with the (male) chop-socky action hero "waking up" in a blue gingham dress for the "And you were there" scene. Also, the character representing the "dream's" Big Bad (who had a flamethrower hand) is shown to still have the flamethrower hand, which he suddenly realizes is in shot and tries to hide. | |

The Brittas Empire: The show is revealed to be the entirety of a dream at the end of the series, with Brittas using random bystanders in the real world as characters within the dream. For example, in the real world, Colin is based on a ticket conductor, Carole is based on a random woman who's apparently had a baby with the man who inspired Gavin, Julie is based on an on-board caterer, and Linda is based on a nun and apparently with the man who inspired Tim. The only exception to this seems to be Helen, who's still his wife in the real world. | |

In Roadkill's ending of Twisted Metal 2, Marcus Kane claims that he knows the contest isn't real and wishes to be woken up. He wakes up in a hospital bed, with the doctor saying he was in a coma after a car pile-up. Marcus looks around and sees the other tournament contestants are comatose around them, but he can't remember where he's seen them before. Then the game implies a Or Was It a Dream? scenario by flashing Calypso's face. | |

Leverage: In the episode "The Van Gogh Job", the World War II-era backstory of the van Gogh the team is trying to retrieve gets told to Parker by its current owner; she fantasy-casts members of the Leverage team in all the appropriate roles of the story. And again in "The D.B. Cooper Job", where Nate is shown as the detective hunting the eponymous bad guy. This can result in figuring out what's going on early because Cooper himself is not cast as one of the Leverage team. This is because that's a deliberately misleading description of him, and the real Cooper is indeed one of the people played by the team. |

In Jumanji, Sam Parrish and the hunter Van Pelt share a striking resemblance. According to Word of God, it's a nod to a Peter Pan tradition. | |

In the Yogscast 2000th video animation, Simon Lane falls asleep whilst coming up for ideas for the video itself and dreams that many of the hostile mobs were benevolent, and the neutral mobs were hostile. When Lewis Brindley wakes him and he invokes this trope, he appears to be delirious, addressing Lewis (who was not present), several appliances, and the camera itself. | |

Sherlock, Jr.. plays this straight, with all of the characters in the framing story playing similar roles in the dream sequence that constitutes the bulk of the film. | |

Martha Speaks: In "Verb Dog, When Action Calls", Martha dreams that she is a superhero and her human friends are superheroes too but she doesn't recognize them: Alice is An Ice Person named Al-Ice, T.D. is a robot named the T.D. 603, Helen has her name but she's a giant and can mesmerize people, and Ronald is the bad guy. The story version is invoked in "The Puppy Show", "Martha Spins a Tale", and "Martha the Hero Maker" where people deliberately write characters based on themselves. |

JAG has three examples - "Mutiny" (re-telling the attempted mutiny aboard the USS Somers), "Ghosts of Christmas Past" (the day Harm's father was shot down) and "Each of Us Angels" (a WWII period piece about hospital ships), where the cast fills various roles after a framing story is established in the present. | |

Implied in the 2010 Alice in Wonderland (2010) that Alice used this reaction to dismiss her first visit to Wonderland as a dream. There's an old woman who has traits of the Red Queen, and twins that behave like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Subverted on her return to Wonderland when she decides it wasn't all a dream. | |

In OMORI, after The Reveal of the existence of Sunny and Faraway Town, it's also revealed that all of the characters who appear in his dreams are based off of people or things he knows in the real world, such as Aubrey, Kel, Basil, Hero, and Mari being based off of his real-world friends and his older sister, respectively, and Captain Spaceboy being from a popular comic book series. | |

In the Matthew Bourne version of The Nutcracker, everyone Clara meets in Sweetieland is someone at the orphanage she lives in. A pair of twins she's friends with become cupids sent from Heaven, other orphans become the various candies she runs into, and the cruel family who run the orphanage become the royal family (with a heavy contrast between their monochrome outfits in the first act and their brightly colored attire in the second.) | |
