[[WMG: The Dreamer is just another dream figure in someone else's dream.]]
Remember what Speed Levitch says, "As one realizes that one is a dream figure in another person's dream, ''that'' is self awareness." The ending is The Dreamer realizes he's just another dream figure (he doesn't even remember a character he'd met earlier in the film). Who is the real Dreamer?
'''The movie audience'''.
Notice there's a real effort to break the fourth wall, such as watching the orchestra rehearse what is the film's score, and the fact that many characters are playing themselves. That's because the film is reminding you you're watching fiction and nothing in it is really happening.
It's a dream.

[[WMG: The Dreamer was hit by a car but is going to live.]]
Building on both earlier guesses; the Dreamer is in a medically induced coma after being hit by a car and is therefore unable to wake up, but his subconcious is plaguing him with the idea of being dead due to his final waking memory being of a car speeding towards him.

*** Not to natter here, I just rewatched this on Netflix, and I think I found the detail that negates this. In the train scene, the livery on the train isn't AmTrak - if you look closely, Wiley's train says it is a DreamTrak.
