That's only in your theoretical sphere you just created by using definitions. I don't even bother with that. Reality is just reality, no need to define it. What you are saying is the dream world is just as real as the world we perceive, I can dig that. But when it comes to reality, reality is what you get when you remove yourself from the equation. You perceive a chair, the reality is the chair with or without your acknowledgement. The dream world however, does not exist when without you. At least, this is my definition.
Another way of putting it is that our waking life reality is a projection of reality, whereas our dream world is more of a projection of our projections... so it is slightly less real. I dunno its too hard to define what the dream world is, what influences it etc.
