In lore, OP looks at it the right way. Your explanation is self-contradictory. That is why we know that this angle can't be true. If you're not real, then what exactly would "cease to exist"? The part of the dream of the infinite? On that scope, it's real again - that's why it can cease to exist to begin with.

On the meta-level it's just a plothole that is hard or even impossible to fill. Trying to explain it with more plot seems to just shift the problem a bit and at times creates new ones. If you need a strong enough will, there is nothing that determines "will" due to the limitations not being real - expect when they are.
