Nice one..PS #2 is referencing Kahneman's experiencing self Vs remembering self - isn't it! Though I would like to say the former, I know I will end up giving in to choose the latter.
Also, I think in all the experiments that you have cited, I think the illusion of choice comes with the assumption that one is able to confirm that the reality that you have been woken up in is the 'actual' one..How does one do that? Is there really a totem that lets you discern!!
Finally, reminded of this fantastic story that talks to this dichotomy...Many Upanishads tackle this topic really well.
