Are you sure her non-realism only shows up in far mode? If you question her more thoroughly, you'll most likely find out that it shows up whenever she feels threatened about the truth of a belief that is held by,

a) Herself, or

b) People that she would be uncomfortable labeling as crazy or deluded.

Her far mode non-realism is probably just a symptom of this.
