When we dream, it’s seems as if we are in an alternate world with the monsters/people/animals/clouds/etcetera in it. I sometimes wonder if the characters within our dream have consciousness, or if they actually think. After all, some of them express ideas, desires, and they move around. All of this implies thought and sentience. Therefore, it could theoretically be true that we are all part of an enormous dream.
Since we’re so complex, it would have to be an incredibly spacious mind, but it is definitely possible. In addition, if God created the universe this becomes much easier to explain, for the universe could be God’s dream. Thus he would be omnipotent and omniscient, regarding this dream, his universe. There wouldn’t have to be any explanation for the beginning of the universe or the stars because God simply dreamed that it was so.

Which might also explain why some things are so irrational...
I totally agree with that, and i've been thinking about that too... Our consciousness is the result of natural processes (chemicals, neurons, that stuff), similar to the natural process of a rock dropping to the ground (though more complex). So if we can dream of a rock dropping to the ground, which is a natural process, why shouldn't we be able to accidentally create whole other consciouses that are unwittingly involved in our dreams and believe that they are alive and conscious? and if we create a scene in our dream filled with scenery and characters, why shouldn't a whole alternate universe spring up around it as well, with accompanying consciouses and stars and galaxies?
oh, and who's to stay they began or ended with our dream?
