The intersection of All Just a Dream and the Ontological Mystery. You're trapped in a weird and inexplicable situation. Nothing you do seems to get you any closer to sorting it out. However will you escape? Simple: it's all just a dream. Once you know that, you're free. It doesn't have to be a literal dream. Maybe you've been hooked up to a Lotus Eater Machine. Maybe you're having a hallucination thanks to your enemy spiking your drink. It could be a magical perception-altering spell. Whatever. The key thing is that as soon as you realize that it's not real, you snap out of it.
