And here's the real kicker: soul trap acclimation. What if the consciousness is stimulated with a preposterous or horrifying simulation? Either (1) we reject the trap "reality" and wake up recovering from a terrible/ridiculous hallucination in a true reality. Or (2) we accept the false reality, which makes it much harder for us to ever get out of the trap because the implications of the false reality will be ridiculous and contrary to any true reality. Such beliefs only develop in simulations.
The idea of being in a simulation may be one such belief.
