Yes, this is true. With one caveat:
Your own ego is also being dreamed!
So the
real "you" is more expansive than is immediately apparent. Your mother, father, ect. are not less real than the ego known as "snowflake". We are all parts of the dream. For some people, this engenders fear about what happens when the dreamer "wakes up". Is this the death of that individuality I have worked so hard to create? But there is no need to fear -- not only is waking up
completely voluntary, your REAL self is not the ego you perceive yourself to be. The dreamer is the real you, and it is eternal. When the time comes to awaken, it will be accepted without fear as the natural next step in the spiritual game of evolution.
The analogy of humans dreaming at night is useful to a certain point, but its important to not encumber the universal dream with the limitations inherent in a
human's dream. In a human dream, we tend to only experience one singular first person perspective. That is all we are used to experiencing, based on our human adventures. The Dreamer (and here I am referring to the
universal dream) is not encumbered by such limitations, and is effortlessly capable of entertaining an infinity of conscious first person perspectives. It has
no inherent limitations or boundaries of existence. It is literally an opening into infinite energy.
