Guys, on that note I don't think Shepard was seeing an illusion or was (heavily) indoctrinated... His wounds were fierce and he was delirious but but he still managed to reach the catalysts control room with his own mind fairly intact... I think we would have more signs of indoctrination in game-such as whispers, and shepard holding his forehead a lot -or behaving strangely. ( I would think Shepard would act more like Saren or TIM if Indoctrinated behavior wise). It is a nice theory and very entertaining but he couldn't have overcome Reaper influence this easily- nobody else in mass effect history ever has considering anybody who was ever indoctrinated didn't live to long to betray the Reapers- they usually kill themselves or are killed in turn (that's a weak answer if you﻿ say shepard can just because he is the Player Character considering he has died against lesser foes once before) If the crucible was an "illusion or dream" then the reapers are still destroying organic forces on earth and against the fleets while shepard naps... So he still has a catalyst to get to after he wakes... Which means the game hasn't ended yet so it being a dream would be dumb...
