I tend to agree. Even if reality is a dream, what about the dreamer?
That's a healthy way to look at it. What can you say about personal versus collective reality? Is there a difference?
What about an old question: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
It makes the air vibrate. "Sound" can be those vibrations (sound1) or some being's experience (sound2). It would make sound1 and not sound2. The question is what is the cause of a sound2.
What if the sound's perceiver is deaf? Would it still count? What is the sound of silence?
Sound1 needs no perceiver. But sound2 needs no emitter! I may hear a tree falling in a dream.
Sound2 still needs a cause to happen, even if it's a dreamlike occurrence. Furthermore, sound2 needs to be cognized for it to be considered sound2.
Yes. That's the enigma to me. Often the cause seems to be a sound1. But not always. Is a sound2 caused by a sound1 different from an internal one? I don't know.
I believe they should be the same. From the mind's perspective, everything has the same taste. Our goal is to realize this experientially.

That's actually a thousand words!.
Sorry, I always lean towards philosophy, even when my mind feels quite dull. The mind exists to be blown 
That was worth about 30 words me thinks.That's actually a thousand words!
