Daydreaming? I think we should not take "dream" to literal here.
"Infinite" is problematic, indeed. I think there is just a finite number of dreams of finite length.
I think it's OK to take "dreams" literally when contrasted in the same sentence with "waking". I'll give the writer the benefit of the doubt along one axis: either they were expressing insightless nonsense clearly, or they are not great at communicating their brilliant insights ;)
