I broached that theory once to one of the humans that I was with previously. They're not here with us now, but their first reaction was asking whether they should try to kill themselves to snap out of it.
I responded that a stunt like that would be as likely to induce brain death as it would actually wake them up, nevermind that if it wasn't actually a simulation in the end then it'd be a very bad idea for obvious reasons.
[ sometimes, babysitting humans is tiring. ]
That said, I couldn't say what it is that might be affecting them either.
[ so many of their powers are magic or magic adjacent that she's just ???? fine. whatever. ]
