A messenger brings bad news. The recipient of the bad news beats the crap out of the messenger. The action then goes back to the point just after the guy got the messenger and we know that the beating was just in the character's mind.
Is there a term for this kind of sequence?
What's this called?

Broadly, it's considered a dream sequence.

deja vu feel after a dream?
likely there is a formal scenario name for it
as others have used these time-moves before
BTW I suppose you meant message rather then messenger?

Some kind of quick fantasy I guess -- they can work well in films
