 * ''Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'' (2005) offers a case of '''Sceneception''' when Harry, while fleeing the cops and worrying about his partner, enters an audition room. The audition material happens to echo his real situation, causing the casting room to mistake crisis for craft and panic for performance.

-== Etymology ==
-A blend of '''scene''' and the meme-like suffix '''-ception''', inspired by the nested-dream logic associated with ''Inception''.
-The word suggests not merely recursion, but theatrical recursion: performance folded inside performance until the audience begins to suspect that the entire room may be part of the bit.
-== MorDictionary note ==
-Not every scene-within-a-scene is '''Sceneception'''.
-A normal play-within-a-play is only dramatic nesting. '''Sceneception''' requires a stronger sense of layered performance: a scene rehearsing, auditioning for, pitching, simulating, or accidentally spawning another scene.
-== Mini taxonomy ==
-; Low Sceneception
-: A rehearsal scene inside a movie.
-; Moderate Sceneception

-; Severe Sceneception
-: A scene inside a scene auditioning for a fictional production of a scene that mirrors the original scene.
-; Terminal Sceneception
-: The audience realizes they, too, may somehow be part of the scene.
