It was a touch disturbing, and since I no longer remember most of my dreams, irrelevant, but your argument of being able to determine a dream as a dream by a reference to an alternate reality doesn't hold water.

Morpheus: "Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real. What if you were unable to wake from that dream. How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"

Epistemology 101: You cannot prove reality.
