I haven't played the game in quite awhile, either, and I've only played it once. (RPGs aren't my thing. I'm a platformer girl!)
The final fantasy wiki talks about how Cloud developed his persona from Zack and Tifa's memories, and has some information on how Jenova supposedly "works". I know I've read essays and arguments on other sites and forums, but I don't have links anymore. =( I sorry.
As for what's real and what's not, the scenes where Cloud hears a second voice and sort of collapses are supposed to indicate that his real self is at odds with or surfacing from the false one. There are music cues as well (or so I've read, I don't really remember).
