Not sure I get what you're saying there. Fight Club was a figment of its creator's imagination. That doesn't mean that because Tyler Durden doesn't exist then none of the others do. Unless you're arguing that they're all just characters in a movie and not actual people, in which case yeah, obviously. But even then we can stlll have illusions within illusions.
Bottom line though, I don't think this theory reflects what John Hughes was doing (not that we'll ever know for sure now). I just think it's a fun way of watching the film. Most of these imaginary interpretations of Hollywood films (like the Back to the Future-9/11 one) are just bullshit that really add nothing to the movie but the 'imaginary Ferris' one is pretty cool, even if personally I don't buy it.
