Okay, we're good.
I should be able to overcome any sense of the physics we know in 'reality,' and take off from the ground and fly.
You can, if you're THE ONE.
Alright, enough movie references.
If I'm dreaming, then I must be highly intelligent. Because if this is just my dream, then all people are just figments of my imagination. Which means that I have single handily come up with every scientific breakthrough, written every book, can speak every language (but can't understand every language... odd), painted every painting, etc.
But then, why am I (that is, my main consciousness) so much less intelligent than the aggregate intelligence of the characters in my dream? Why do I have to study so hard for a genetics exam when I wrote the text book? Even if my character's intelligence is all part of my subconscious, shouldn't some residual knowledge float through to my main consciousness?
For instance, if two of my dream characters are conversing in Chinese, shouldn't I be able to at least partly understand what they are saying, given that all of China is populated by my dream characters?
Some might say that China does not exist, and that Chinese is just gibberish spouting from my subconscious. However, I can use google translate or whatever, and consistently translate Chinese into English. Which means that even though I can't understand Chinese, people in my dream can. And, furthermore, I have created a system in my dream that indirectly lets me understand Chinese (because google translate is also part of my dream).
So, what is more likely: that in my dream I created a language I cannot understand, or that I'm just not dreaming.
