First to thank you for all your votes, just now, until all mine become too viral, for that one of the firsts my supporters.
With two things:

• the dream isn't same as reality, as @hermeticgenetics said, no smell, no forms, also no colors (only insane), no pain, seems to be not real, but just in this reality, not in that, as you said;
• but, dream, again: with open eyes, with the soul, just as @entertheart21 said: emotions, irrational, the real perception of the real as no time, meaning transcendental way, because you said: observer is you, and try to really feel yourself's nature, your conscious awareness, which you said isn't made from the this reality: the love.
