Well that certainly makes sense... they're trying to cloud the reality and truth of their situation by diffusing it through other means, especially in Bill's journey:
+ The orgy sequence with Mandy's sacrifice is later rebutted by Victor's explanation of the same events
+ Millich dealing with his daughter and the cross-dressers at night directly oppose what happens the morning after
+ Bill almost goes through his "transaction" with Domino, which would seem like a welcome release at the time... then he finds out she's HIV-positive.
In every instance, it's almost like he forces himself into believing the easier way out even when confronted with the evil or disgusting side of the same thing. When Bill and Alice meet again at the end, that definitely is reality, and also one of the only instances where they're in an actual, "normal" environment, like Laz said, and they just fucking decide to ignore all of what's occurred because they can't handle it... then the title made perfect sense. I pitied both of them by that point, but they're only resigning themselves to a loveless and poor fate by doing that, so I don't sympathize with either of them.
So I guess that means I'm subscribing more to your idea about the suppression of reality, but would have to watch it again with that mindset to really be sold on it.
