I see the point of your post, it's a nice analysis but I don't think he is truely an hallucination, how can an hallucination drive an ambulance ? Were you not paying attention to the analysis? It's Disassociative Personality Disorder, like Raiden. Big Boss is really the one driving the ambulance, but he experiences it as Ishmael driving and him riding shotgun. We are seeing the World from the protagonists perspective, from Big Boss' perspective. Thus, we see everything he sees, hallucinations and all. He's likely suffering from mental trauma from all of the horrible things he's experienced in the past, from his killing of The Boss, to losing the MSF at the hands of XOF/Cipher and falling into a 9 year coma. There may also be some manipulation by kid Mantis, what with the flaming apparitions (Volgin, the winged unicorn, and Moby Dick,likely several others).
