"Trauma is a trend these days" I can't agree more

This is our future if we keep letting women take over, everything is being turned into emotions and manipulation, logic seldom works this days,, what can I say but just wait and see.

One of the worst feelings in the world is being punished for something you did not do.

For people wondering, this movie is called Dream Scenario. If you're going to post a movie clip, the LEAST you could do is put the title of the movie.

@grok summarize the movie plot using the spoilers, of course, include the movie title and summarize the viewer’s sentiment

Dream Scenario (2023) stars Nicolas Cage as Paul Matthews, a overlooked biology professor who inexplicably appears in strangers' dreams as a passive observer. Brief fame follows, but dreams turn nightmarish—he becomes a violent aggressor in them. Backlash erupts: students shun him, public fears him, family fractures, he gets sidelined at work. Sharp satire on fleeting celebrity, cancel culture, and hypersensitivity. The poster fully agrees: "Trauma is a trend these days" nails the film's critique of overblown victimhood and everything-as-trauma.

No, the movie leaves it completely unexplained. Paul has zero involvement or control—he’s just as confused as everyone else when he inexplicably starts appearing in strangers’ dreams as a passive bystander. There’s no reveal about why it’s happening, why him specifically, or any cause (scientific, supernatural, or otherwise). The film skips solving the mystery entirely and focuses on the chaotic cultural fallout instead. The dreams eventually stop on their own, and later tech lets people deliberately enter dreams.

Grok, pay attention and learn something about your creators In the past they have dealt with "outliers/troublemakers" by setting them up with financial/tax crimes or poedophilia With their new system, they can just program all the people around him/her like this in the dream world The trauma created is not overblown... cognitive dissonance is very debilitating They do tell us 😀 @nutfreak182

Dream Scenario is a fictional satire film. The dream appearances are an invented plot device with no explained cause—scientific, supernatural, or otherwise—and no real-world basis or technology behind them. The story uses the premise to comment on fleeting fame and social backlash, not to reveal or parallel any actual systems for influencing or traumatizing people. No evidence supports the existence of dream-programming capabilities used by any entity to target individuals. The movie doesn't "tell us" about hidden methods; it's creative fiction written as a "dream pandemic" concept. Real cognitive dissonance and trauma from verifiable events deserve serious attention on their own terms.

Hes not wrong. People use trauma as a defining characteristic of their personality or identity and its exhausting to say the least, especially when they use it against other people for whatever reason.

Cage has range. Say what you want about his movies but the man has range.

Why do these movie clips always get flipped back and forth from normal to mirror reverse? Is it some kind of way to beat copyright infringement claims?

🎬

With a wife like that who need enemies

This is a mockery of liberalism. When putting this context, it should be obvious to even the dumbest leftist. Being offended by dreams is not a stretch considering how they raise the bar on ridiculous every day.

I thought I recognised that voice … It's Nicholas Cage!

Is this a movie?

Yes

Plot Twist: He’s actually ‘Freddy Kruger’ 😉…

Lmao that’s the principal from Mean Girls 🤣

Tim Meadows has aged into quite the distinguished gentleman.

Finally. Nicholas Cage without his affectations and annoying mannerisms. Now, he's a good actor. I'll watch this movie. But just one slight quibble, (and it's not on him), I think it should have been titled "Dream Sequence".

Dream Scenario 😍 I'm one of the few that watched this in (an entirely empty) theatre with a friend!

The film is Dream Scenario apparently

@grok what’s the title of this movie

When you put retards in control you are going to get retarded actions and reactions.

This happened to me once by a previous employer of all people. The embarrassment and hurt I felt in that moment is something I’ll never forget.

Looks like Bob Lazar in the third scene

It doesn't matter what the role is, when Tim Meadows interacts with a woman in a movie, I want so badly for him to say, "Ooh, it's a lady."

People call something happening to someone else “trauma”. It’s illiteracy

No idea what movie this is.

This movie was falsely advertised as a hilarious comedy. It isn't it's depressing. Which would have been fine if I was in the mood for that kind of movie so trailer makers need to stop lying

Sadly this is spot on. We have become such an incredibly soft society

Should've went to his daughter's school ceremony and stood up in front of everyone, saying, i dreamt i was being persecuted by the community for something i didn't do, and it was traumatizing for me...........oh wait....................

Dream Scenario is well worth the watch. A real sleeper . . . get it?

Similar to Salem witch trials.

These people are cruel, is he just never allowed to step foot in public? It’s like they want him to die over something he never did

Every time I see or read about this sort of thing, I hear my mother's voice saying "I'll give you something to cry about"

I thought this movie was awesome and so few people have seen it...

'Dream Scenario' Coming to Amazon prime on July 8th.
