The title of the thread commands one to "wake up from reality", which would certainly lead one to believe that it is being asserted that reality is in fact a dream.
More likely it was not being used in a literal sense, and dreaming is being used as an analogy. In my above post I explained why it is a weak analogy and that to draw conclusions from it would be fallicious reasoning.

Point taken. See the 'edit' applied to the post in question.
