No.
Why?
Cuz it just clearly is not.

agreed that common sense should be used more often in general - but i normally think that at times when, for instance, traffic lights lose power at an intersection and people start looking at each other like wtf do we do now until somebody makes the bold decision to just go and then finally we start 'taking turns' lol.
but since we collectively use common sense so poorly for even the most common questions/problems, it often makes it a less effective solution for questions like this imo...
if common sense truly satiated these types of questions, then the answer would be common knowledge, you know?
Now if you personally accept "reality is not a dream, because clearly it's not" as enough - then kinda more like Cake's stance, no doubt, let others explore it further if they want to and just be at peace with what you know/or don't care to know/explore further....
At some point it's up to the individual to decide, somewhat arbitrarily, how they want to define (and/or confine) the meanings dream vs. reality....
to me it's literally all the same thing and literally (physically) a different state of mind at the 'time'.
