I think it is even much easier than you imply, Rockstar, it is that you simply, for whatever your reason is, do not wish to allow, or better: to consider the point of the story. Because if dream and dreamer may be the same, or at least cannot be clearly identified regarding whom is who and what is what, than the usual separation between "me" and the "world", creation and a god having created it, is being questioned. Not to mention that the distinction between man and his assumed god that he claims to have created man) is beign questioned, too. I seem to remeber that you are a strong theistic believer. Theists have traditionally a big problem with the idea that maybe there is not the god they believe in and this god's creation, but that God IS the creation - and so God is me and you, and you and me are God, and all is one. That would turn worshipping this god into a narcissistic profanity, if we ourselves are fully divine and not just subordinate to the deity at the top of the food chain, and if we are not only parts of God, but are God it-/him-/herself. For such ideas I would have been burned at the stake for heresy just short times ago. Such thinking threatens to let collapse the hole church-conception of good and evil and sinning and heaven and hell the very basis of it's earthly power over people and their minds. The ruling of the church always was the ruling by fear. So much for the Glad Tidings.

Sin is the avoidance of guilt, to escape the pain of realising one's own responsibility.

Hell is the pain of truth that sooner or later has caught up with the avoider.
