Which leads to the philosophical problem of if you are in a trap created by people who are able to control your perceptions of reality and thus of the trap itself, how do you know that your perceived solution to the trap is not part of the trap itself.
However the pragmatist says try the solution to the end and see if you get out or simply remain in the trap. The existentialist says if you don't trust your perceptions in the first place, how will you know that you are actually out when you think get out and not still within another layer of the trap.
Of course the other solution is to not try and escape the trap, to fully embrace your perceptions, real or unreal, and simply enjoy the ride. Is a trap still a trap if you never want to leave?
Maybe I should call it the sane person's guide to escaping reality.
Freedom is a choice. Choose to be yourself, choose to speak your truth and do so with compassion. And above all else, choose to be not afraid. If I can't dance, its not my revolution.
