DAMN! I almost choked on my soda!

You mean everything... every single game session, all the character
background is just the fantasy?

This could lead to some real paranoia amongst the players. A GM would
have to be careful not to overdo it though, since this sort of
brainfuck can become unfun. It's the ultimate GM heavyhandedness to
say, "no, your character isn't such-and-such, that was just an
implanted memory"
