In The Matrix, Neo is living in what he believes is a true reality because it’s so unbelievably vast and doesn’t often show signs of falsity and when it does, for example when we experience déjà vu, it’s common to shrug it off like it’s some strange trick of the mind. Neo is a special case because he is having trouble accepting that this world is the real truth. This is what distinguished him from the rest of the world, making him “The One”.
