Chances are the chronologically last panel of it all is just a CS student waking up in their dorm, rubbing their eyes and saying 'what a fucked up dream.'

Hmm.... there are a lot of references that a current CS student isn't going to get. More like an oldschool hacker (in the traditional sense of the word) whose mind is going. But I hope you don't go that route, because "it was all just a dream" is a cliche.

This is what Neo was dreaming of in The Matrix right before the prompt awakens him.
