How can you not interpret that as fantasy?

The bold part can be interpreted differently actually. Throughout the movie all these yuppies were mixing each other constantly, since they all dressed the same, had similar haircuts, lifestyles etc. Paul Allen himself mistaken Bateman for some guy Halberstram, so how can you be sure that the lawyer didn't mistake someone else for Paul Allen, especially when we see that he repeatedly called Bateman Davis. And that's the point. They were all looking at each other superficially, they were shells, stereotypes with no real persona underneath, just voids. It doesn't really matter how you interpret the murders, that's not the major theme of the movie.
