The more I think about it the more it looks like it's a dream to me
too.  Even in episode 1003 Coop describes the scene with Lucy and Andy
as a dream.  The editing, the total change of pace, the sudden reappearance
of an irrelevant character (the one-armed man) from the elevator, it's just
like it is in dreams.
