It's more of an experience for me.

All of reality can be called a simulation, an illusion,
created by neurons in a brain inside a cranium. Yet
to say such a saying could be called an illusion or a
result of a divided mind.

Some people say there is no free-will, no choice.

Some say there is, obviously, and the pov of there being 
no free-will is a perspective that emerges which viewing
so-called things in a so-called world/universe at a level.

Some say reality is a Great Dream Drama and
when awakening a view can be how both choice
and no choice are sides of a coin of a realm.

Sounds as if the presumptions involve beings, e.g. you,
and a world. It appears similar to a physicalist/materialist view.

To presume a noun-thing, the Universe, exists, is possible.

To think, it, created, other so-called, things in particulars 
can be to think a thought in a train or stream of thoughts.

Reminds one of the Chuang-tzu, Chapter 3.
