Yes, it's exactly what you think it is. The definition, from the OED:
A situation, or (in Logic) a syllogism, of the nature of a DILEMMA, but involving three alternatives instead of two.
I am currently working on my paper for Professor MacDougall's class and after encountering trilemma in one of my sources, I am seriously considering making an attempt to work the word into my own paper.

We just determined vocabulary dilemmas....trilemma, it's a new word to me. I'm using it in the next vocab training!
