Rey had already been aware of the Force by that point. If you'll recall, those scenes follow her freakout after finding the lightsaber, and after the dried apricot lady flat out stated that Rey had a connection to the Force. She does have his powers and she's well-aware of it by that point. The only question for her is whether she will embrace them and or whether she will run from them to avoid taking on the responsibility (again, this is in character, as she is reluctant to take on responsibilities but her conscience or circumstances often forces her to do exactly that).

So yes, it was implied to her very strongly that she could use the Force. It was a pivotal moment for her character and again, all this stuff was set up and didn't come out of nowhere.

I can see saying it wasn't executed well or that the pace was rushed, but in terms of storytelling, it covered its bases just fine in terms of setting up a logical progression.

Sorry but no. Everyone is aware of the force but being aware of it and being able to use it are very different things.

There is absolutely no reason for Rey to assume that she can.

There is every reason for her to assume that she can because she already had by that point. Her hallucination was a manifestation of her latent ability to tap into the Force and she is then outright told she has a connection to Luke and Anakin, both of whom are also naturals at using the Force. It's spelled out by the film, man, what else can I say?
