I think the confusion about Total Recall's reality is intentional. My view: there are scenes in the movie that are not from Quaid's point of view and that Quaid could not have direct knowledge of. That seems to imply that it's real.

In the TR commentary, Verhoeven says the second half is a brain-damaged dream of Quaid’s.
Maybe, but when I'm dreaming I don't always see things from my point of view and I'm often an observer without me clearly being in the dream at all.
