People could've said 'I've seen that guy before' but never specify in their dreams. It could make a difference, because if they have no knowledge of it in advance, then they can't bias their answer. They could've said no, they could've said yes, but they don't know where from, they could've said 'yes in my dreams' if they don't have the knowledge that this guy keeps reappearing in their dreams in advance, then how could their answer possibly end up being untruthful?
'Have you seen this man before?'
'Yes. In my dreams.'
'BIAS. YOU'RE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.'
'How?'
'EVERYONE SEES THAT MAN IN THEIR DREAMS, YOU'RE JUST GOING WITH WHAT THEY SAID.'
'Well sorry. I didn't know that, all I did was answer your question.'
Nonetheless, the idea that the same man could reappear in several peoples dreams is creepy.
You've lost me. What does bias have to do with anything?
No, in this case, it's advertising. The guy who was making this uses weird tactics like this for advertising, apparently. I have no idea what the **** this is supposed to be advertising though...

Alright, maybe bias was the wrong word. But 'knowledge in advance.'
If they don't know the purpose of the doctor showing them that picture, how could they possibly have any idea like 'oh yeah I have seen him in my dreams.' if nothing about dreams were mentioned?
Here's how you guys think it went:
"Have you seen this man in your dreams?"
"Hmm.. Oh yeah, now that you say it, I think I have."
Here's how I see it:
"Have you seen this man?"
"Yeah, I've seen him in my dreams before." or "Nope" this way, there wouldn't be any knowledge of dreams when the question was asked.
Hey have you seen this guy in your dreams, hundreds of others have.
People have looked at images of them photo shopped in a place they have never been and they believed they were there. Power of suggestion is powerful black-magic.

It's apparently promoting a horror movie called "This man". It's actually pretty ingenious marketing, if you ask me. According to pwntpant's statistics, it fooled "over 2000 people".

I check into small hotel a few kilometers from Kiev. It is late. I am tired. I tell woman at desk I want a room. She tells me room number and give key. ?But one more thing comrade; there is one room without number and always lock. Don?t even peek in there.? I take key and go to room to sleep.
Night comes and I hear trickling of water. It comes from the room across. I cannot sleep so I open door. It is coming from room with no number. I pound on door. No response. I look in keyhole. I see nothing except red.
Water still trickling. I go down to front desk to complain. ?By the way who is in that room?? She look at me and begin to tell story.
There was woman in there. Murdered by her husband. Skin all white, except her eyes, which were red.
I tell her I don't give a ****. Stop the water trickling or give me refund. She gave me 100 ruble credit and free breakfast.
Such is life in Moscow
Okay, fine, even if it isn't real, what makes it any less creepy? Movies aren't real yet people still get scared. So sure, if it isn't real, alright, but nonetheless, the concept creeps me out.

If I got creeped out by everything that wasn't real, I would be paranoid. Which I am.

I never denied that it was a cool concept. That's why a movie is being made around it :wink.gif:
I feel like I've seen him, but I know I haven't, like the others said, power of suggestion, makes you wonder "Have I seen him?" So, you search your mind for a clip, and, because it's a dream, you just put his face in there, where it seems it would actually be real.
I know I haven't seen him.
Also, do you need eyes to dream? Can blind people dream? I'm not saying blind at birth, but, blind later on, I know you have to see things physically to actually see them in a dream, but, is it possible?
First off, even if this was or is not a hoax- it's retrospective falsification paired with communal reinforcement.
And the retort "so 2000 people have seen them without being told it is a dream thing" how the **** would you know? the only "facts" are provided on the same site. It's a utter load of bollocks, is what it is. "I believe that there were 2000 people who saw it because the same site that we are trying to verify told us" that's not "fact-checking" that's called believing whatever you are told.
It's just a form of creepypasta.

Those 2000 people never existed though.

Is it really? I wanna see it haha
I know I haven't seen him.

Also, it creeps me out slightly.
The discussion here is just plain "wow" though.
