There are clues in the script to have Truman understand that his world isn't real - and there are clues to have the audience (us) understand that what most of us consider reality isn't real either (Christof, the director of the Truman Show even says in the show itself when Truman finds out what is going on in his world and must decide in what world he wants to live the rest of his life). Note that there also is a Truman in Twin Peaks... and also note the dogs (there is even a reference to Canis Major and Sirius) and the twin brothers. Truman is Herakles again. The topic of the movie is how a person might escape Hell by being aware of the Hermetic codes that can be observed everywhere.

My post didn't go through yesterday, so let me try again. The basic problem is that you are accepting the Hermetic view/religion as fact and that others share your vision. Historically, there just is no evidence of this nor is there for other religious dogma. Similarly, you cannot prove the existence of God by history. This is a matter of individual faith. Will & Ariel Durant's "The Lessons Of History" is an excellent resource on this historical analysis.. Should someone want to start a religion around the log lady or the White Lodge, that's their business. I personally think that Twin Peaks i s one of the absolute zeniths of television history. Lynch & Frost were able to weave such a wonderful tapestry of mystery with a small logging town as its backdrop that elevated it into pop culture. I respect your views and enjoy your writing.
