It's the total experience of the matrix within a matrix. Everything is not what it appears to be.
In the "Summer of All Fears" episode of Rick and Morty, Rick traps Morty and Summer in a Matrix-like simulation for 17 years (in their perception) as punishment for stealing his phone charger. This "matrix within a matrix" scenario is a key plot point, highlighting Rick's tendency to overreact and the potential consequences of his actions. Morty, in particular, experiences significant trauma from his experiences within the simulated reality.
