Our experience of waking reality is extremely well fit to the universe and generalises very well, however much you want to argue it isn’t in and of itself ‘real’. Dreams may reuse many of the same underlying cognitive mechanisms but there is very little to learn about the outside world from the memory and logic of dreams, and implying the two experiences are somehow equal isn’t very useful or interesting.
