Many of Oshii Mamoru's films deal with this issue, from Urusei Yatsura 2:
Beautiful Dreamer, to Patlabor 2 and the more recent Avalon. Oshii
mostly maintains an ambivalent stance towards the question of which is
the Truth or "more real," instead focusing on the problems of individual
choice within social structures of power.
