Why? Isn't it natural to question your perception when you see something unusual in such a degree?

The higher the dose the more you lose the ability to convince yourself “This isn’t real” or even care.

It would. Unless your very thought patterns are completely disrupted by a highly potent psychedelic you've been unknowingly dosed with.

Even then, what seems more reasonable? "I'm trapped, asleep, in a seemingly never ending nightmare" or "I, a random layman with nothing remarkable whatsoever, have been unknowingly dosed with some unknown substance by the CIA" ?
