What do you mean by real or illusion?
Dreaming is a real act, and a fact that a person does, while asleep, therefore, a dream is not an illusion, but the dream is also not real or a fact. Dreams are a very subjective subconscious thing, and varies from person to person. Illusions happen when a person is awake or conscious.
I think people confuse the contents of the dream, with the act of doing the dreaming, as not being real or as an illusion.
The same thing can be said for daydreaming or fantasizing while awake.
