Maybe Neo could dream that? And excuse me if that shot is in your edit, I don't remember it but maybe I missed it.
I did take that scene out, mainly because I had taken out the proceeding scene with Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph driving in the car (which I removed because I felt it was an unneeded scene) and there were no longer any scenes to act as an "intro" buffer to the Neo's loop scene.
(although to be honest, I never really cared for that scene to begin with)

Personally, I think the W brothers had probably planned that the big twist would be that the "real world" was a Matrix within the Matrix, the idea being that if people BELIEVED they had escaped, they wouldn't look any further. But I think since fans were predicting this would be the case, the film makers abandoned that idea just to avoid being predictable.

I think the bigger problem was that the filmmakers (or the Studio, for that matter) wrote the sequels based on what they thought the audiences' wanted to see in the films.
