I understand, and you might be right.
Have you ever had a lucid dream? You have a regular dream, that seems like reality to you, with all the physical reality's limitations, when something out of order draws your attention, and you realize you're dreaming. Then, while in that same dream, but now lucid, you can do all kind of things you can't do while in the physical reality: flying, going through walls, making things appear or disappear, .... With no interruption, without waking up, you can now do things you couldn't do before, because you knew you couldn't.
Why wouldn't be the case with this reality too?
Have you ever had a false awakening from a dream, lucid or non-lucid? You're sure you aren't dreaming, although you still do.
