I perceive this as being directly related to a biblical allusion...one that involves being tempted, as Jesus was by the Devil. Brown is also being tempted in various ways. Also, Jesus was tested many times. Brown was also tested in the forest.
Brown's experiences are very dreamlike, so there is a definite theme of illusion vs. reality here, so yes, there are reasons to suppose he doesn't not actually see or hear what he things is 'real.'
