It does not matter, Tactics was still their point of origin and Tactic's lore should have been respected. There is also that Tactics took place in an alternate dimension created by (and later destroyed by) a magical Grimoire that Mewt found, not in a dream. The thing is that when returning from alternate dimensions, you'll often feel as if it was all a dream as in the case for the aforementioned FFTA, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, the FF14-FF15 crossover (watch both sides of it), Click (thought it focuses on time travel rather than dimension travel), and many others. Such is the nature of plots involving reality warping and/or dimensional travel. In same cases you may even struggle to recall the other dimension, if you even remember it at all.

And then theres Eternal Sonata's surprise ending (turns out it wasn't a dream after all), Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time (apparently their entire existence is a mere MMO for 4th dimension kids), etc. I know there are many more examples but those are the only examples that come to mind at the moment.

And then theres The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. While the entire game takes place inside the dream of a "wind fish" deity (of course the dreams of a god is as good as an alternate reality, some even believe our reality is the dream of a god, the MMO Tera also explores this idea), the creatures of it's dreams were sentient and one of the creatures in it's dream, Marin, wished she were born as a seagull so she could travel the world. Following the game conclusion, Marin is allowed to become real as the Wind Fish gives her life in the form of a seagull.


All that said, "just a dream" is not that simple and they already broke Viera's lore once, we don't need it broken again. The ENTIRE point of RPGs is the lore, when you start messing with the lore, it becomes meaningless.
