Very nice story. This would be a great article for students or scholars in computational cognitive neuroscience. In fact, I'm going on Twitter to Tweet it to Elon and the Twitterverse.
The question, as a scientist, is "how would this work?" We pretty much know there is no shot or drug that can do this except as a dream. So there is a way!
A dream drug, Melatonin, is sold over the counter in the USA that helps people sleep and most people agree induces very vivid dreams. But people know it, and can remember their dreams in reality. So could there be an implant that hits your pineal gland to generate the hormone melatonin and put also put you into half-sleep, when you are actually experiencing reality?

So you never come out of your dreams but live them all the time?
It hate to say this, but yes. This seems plausible with a brain implant to keep you out of reality for your entire life.
Now the question for Elon and Neurolink. Have ya'll tried this, yet? I actually doubt Neurolink would seriously try it, since it would not be a cheap thing to do and Neurlink is trying to let a person control actual reality, and not vice versa. But in Spain the outfit that has used other neural implants to investigate manufacturing soldiers is still alive and well, and seemingly still willing! It would be interesting to know if, in Spain, Melatonin requires a prescription, as it does in many other countries.
