Creators sometimes like to tweak the audience, and what better way than fudging the reality of the work itself? Or maybe they want to give the fans a little taste of something long awaited, but without actually committing it to canon. Enter the Daydream Surprise. The work's perspective subtly shifts inside a character's head, and while viewers think they're seeing the story play out, they're really just seeing that character fantasize. Usually, a nearby character will then snap the daydreamer back to reality, and the viewers suddenly find out that the last twenty seconds were all just a lie! The Daydream Surprise is the stealthy counterpart of the Imagine Spot, which is very clear from the beginning that it's not real. In its purest form, this trope is a very short-form Reset Button. Sub-Trope of Fantasy Sequence. Super-Trope to Indulgent Fantasy Segue, where the daydream specifically involves physical violence, frequently Played for Laughs. Compare/Contrast All Just a Dream, where the daydream is used as a Twist Ending, and Danger Room Cold Open, where the opening scene is an engineered training simulation that may include a certain amount of fakery such as feigned "deaths". Somewhat related to Fever Dream Episode. The Final Temptation can be a dramatic version (although in that case it's often explicitly a vision from the start). Bullying creators may include those scenes in a trailer, for increased effect; a reason why you should Never Trust a Trailer. If the "snap-back" involves finding out that a character has been doing the thing they were imagining in real life, then this trope overlaps with Acting Out a Daydream. Also see Cutting Back to Reality. By the nature of this trope, expect spoilers. |

Happens in an episode of Captain Disillusion, where Cap angrily calls out Mr. Flare for lying about how a particular series of stunts was performed and gives a detailed explanation of the visual effects trickery employed; the whole sequence is eventually revealed to be a daydream (or possibly part of a hallucination). | |

In Atonement, as a kind of retroactive daydream, Briony (as the author) writes an alternate ending where her sister and Robbie survive and reunite. Later, she reveals that she made that up, and they actually both died before they could find each other again. An interesting example in that it then throws the truth of the rest of the book into question, not just that one surprise daydream. | |

Calvin and Hobbes: Calvin enters a traffic safety poster contest, and is certain that his poster, "Be Careful Or Be Roadkill", is a shoo-in. One strip begins with several newspaper headlines about Calvin winning the contest, and praising him for his greatness. The last panel then has Susie excitedly going up to Calvin, telling him that her poster won. One strip has Mom waking Calvin up to get ready for school, so he gets up, goes through his morning routine, and as he's out the door, he hears Mom say, "Calvin, it's time to wake up." It's then revealed Calvin dreamed up the whole morning as Mom tries to get him out of bed. He complains that his dreams are getting too literal. |

Stephen King's Pet Sematary gives us a double whammy. First the sequence of events that involved Gage getting hit and killed by a truck and Louis getting into a fistfight with his father-in-law at the funeral, was revealed to be just a vision that flashed before Louis' eyes as Gage was running toward the road. The book goes on to describe how Gage escaped the truck, grew up to be an honor student and then an Olympic swimmer, and then, as Louis and Rachel are watching Gage's winning event on the television, the point of view shifts back to reality, where it's made clear that THAT was the fantasy, and Gage is still very much dead. | |

The multi-layered brainhack/dream sequence in Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. The first run-through is pretty normal (for GitS, anyway), but as Togusa completes each iteration, it gradually gets more and more bizarre, until Batou snaps him out of it before the place is levelled by a passing warship. It makes more sense after watching 5-6 times, with notes. It is very pretty, though. | |

Batman: A comic features a just-on-the-brink-of-insanity Harvey Dent shooting up a courtroom. Then the judge calls him out for daydreaming. Of course, everything in the daydream is red, so that might tip you off. "Penguin Dreams" details a successful trick where Penguin succeeds in murdering Batman, then kicks a bound and gagged Bruce Wayne off his yacht. To maintain the illusion, the title wasn't shown until the last page, when it was revealed to be Penguin looking out the window daydreaming. |

This happened at least twice in the popular YouTube series Chad Vader, and on both occasions involving the title character murdering his boss in a strange fashion. The first time he gets mad at her for deporting his girlfriend and explodes her head with a bazooka, only for it to cut back to reality. A later scene involves the boss socializing with Chad, who asks her if she'd like to be blown up by a bomb and die, to which she casually accepts. Just as Chad is getting excited over her death, the boss quickly snaps him back into reality. | |

He then knocks over a table, runs away to Paris with his wife, finds his wife killed by Bullseye, kills Bullseye, spends several years traveling, ends up in Japan with Elektra... and then it cuts back to the courtroom, where he pleads not guilty. |
