People have complained the "the dreams shoud have been cutscenes, blah blah blah," but no. No, they should not be. There are somethings that can only be conveyed through text, and the Dreams do it perfectly... some of them damn near brought me to tears, embarrassing as it is to admit.

I don't think they should have been cutscenes, but I do think they should have been voice acted. It's annoying having to read all that every 10 minutes.

Then you should do what I do and skip them when they first come up, and just watch them when you go to an inn. This keeps them from breaking up the flow of the game.

I'm in Namibia, and the funeral scene... apart from the stupid minigame tasks they inserted into it, that was really impressive. They've actually got me to the point where I want to keep playing to see what's going to come up next, and I think the last time an RPG managed that was FFX.
