This Man

internet hoax

This Man, according to a website created in 2008 by Italian marketer Andrea Natella named Ever Dream This Man?, was a person who was claimed to have been repeatedly seen in dreams by the whole world since 2006, but was never found in real life.[1][2]

Natella created the site in 2008, but it was not until October 2009 that it gained attention from the press and online internet users.

This Man's became an internet meme that spoofed flyers of the website, references in movies and television shows like The X-Files, and a manga series based on the hoax by Weekly Shōnen Magazine.[3]
