SPOILERS FOR THE FILM I'm personally of the opinion that everything that happens after Arnold submits to the machine is all part of the delusion. Everything, and i mean everything that happens after he straps down to the machine happens exactly how the dream vacation salesman says it will. He became a secret agent, people were trying to kill him, he met an exotic woman and he killed the bad guy, Vilos Cohaagen. They even showed him the exact face of the woman who would show up in his dream, her face flashes on the little screen. And the name of this prepackaged fantasy? "Blue Skies on Mars," which turned out to be a spoiler for the very last image he sees in his dream(likely ever). When the sweaty guy appears and claims to be a scientist speaking to him from the waking world, he warns him that he's suffered a "schizoid embolism," and if he doesn't come out of the dream soon, he'll be lobotomized. He doesn't listen, and so the rest of the movie continues to happen. But everything he warned him about came true! "One minute you'll be the savior of the rebel cause, and the next thing you know, you'll be Cohaagen's bosom buddy. You'll even have fantasies about alien civilizations ..." In other words, all the crazy plot twists and stomach aliens that come in the last part of the movie are the result of Arnold's brain misfiring as doctors remove chunks of it from his skull. The final fade to white as he kisses Melina under the blue skies of Mars are his last moments of life. Probably.

You knew shizz was about to go down if you saw "Executive producer: Mario Kassar" in the opening credits in the 80ies.

I think we're supposed to synthesize Arnold's dreams with our own. While the movie itself might be a delusion, we still want to sympathize and stride towards it's message (or possible future). It's sorta like how sci fi lets us build spaces through film or media to confront our anxieties. The movie isn't real, but the message of it is. Which I also thinks thematically rolls back to Kuato's plight and how he believes action over memory defines a person. You can watch and remember a movie, but action ultimately is needed. That's just my opinion as a meta-analysis. Also, I saw some Mr Robot camera angles in that Mars Hotel gaslight scene. Kinda rad.
