Default If life is a dream, who's the dreamer?

If life is a dream (the dream of form like Eckhart Tolle says), then who is dreaming?

When I'm asleep and dreaming, the people in my dreams aren't real. They exist only because I'm dreaming about them. So as the observer of my reality, does this mean that the people in my life and the people I see all around me are just manifestations of my observation? But then does that mean that I'm alone and dreaming all of this? Are you all part of my imagination?

But if we all exist and all see reality through our own eyes, then are we all in each other's dream or is there just one dreamer? If reality is created by each observer, then how is it possible that two or more people can look at something and see the exact same thing, like a pink flower for example?
