10 Movie Characters Who Discovered That Their Universe Didn’t Exist

11. Honorable Mention

Before we begin our list, there is one honorable mention. In Season Six, Episode Seventeen of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, entitled “Normal Again,” the titular character begins to suffer visions of a mental hospital where she’s told that she’s suffered from hallucinations for the better part of a decade. She eventually comes to the decision that her whole vampire-hunting life is merely the creation of a delusional mind struggling to find its way back to reality.

However, this is ultimately revealed to be the scheme of a demon trying to get her to murder her friends and stop hunting monsters, so this turns out to be a false world trying to convince her that it’s the real world while the real world is false. It really flips the whole topic on its head, but technically earns a spot on this list.
