It is possible for a hallucination to be fully immersive, but the landscape here is too consistent. There's no distortion; everything sounds and smells and feels exactly as it should. Well - within a predictable scope.
And if this were drug-induced, there'd likely be an associated emotion, one that the user wouldn't have control over. Ecstasy, delirium, terror... Living inside an opium dream or an acid trip isn't the same as simply walking down the street. Everything becomes heightened. Brighter, sharper, hyper-real. This... this is only real.
