Well I need to watch The Thin Red Line again. :)

By definition the dream levels are us lost in our dreams (mind) and when we wake we can find ourselves in the chaos of an Aye Mak Sicur variant.

I wouldn't class the Electric Sheep levels as the same as dream levels. Exactly what these are or were intended to be is still unclear. Perhaps an AI inducing us into a dream state to find the right path.
