Something I've always thought was fascinating about this topic though is --- if we look to some of the greatest minds of our kind, sooo many of them gave more credence to the 'reality of dreams' than the general consensus does...
Here is a suuuper quick snapshot of some -- plenty of others that are undoubtedly more relevant...
but word -- "common sense"-wise, I think it's important to consider how commonly we prove ourselves wrong time and time again throughout history --- and that our understanding of how shit works is limited by our technological/scientific advancements which were created without a complete understanding.

It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
― Albert Einstein
“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”
― John Lennon
"We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality."
― Judy Garland
"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience."
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“Reality is wrong. Dreams are for the real.”
― Tupac Shakur
