I do agree that this technique can successfully be used in any genre, but often when the conflict of a story is centered around the characters trying to distinguish what is real it will have the [psychological thriller](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_thriller) sub-genre associated with it. On the other hand when characters casually acknowledge the existence of multiple realities or [parallel universes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_thriller) and aren't troubled by them those stories generally fit broadly into either science fiction or fantasy.
