What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker acknowledges how convincing an experience feels to the listener while stopping short of confirming it as real. That distinction can sound sympathetic or distancing, depending on the exchange. The sentence recognises the strength of someone’s perception without necessarily sharing their understanding of it.
