Testimony, no matter where it comes from, is just testimony, and dreams, regardless of when they happen or what condition the brain is in, are not sufficient evidence for believing that consciousness can exist independent of matter.
That's why your poll question has literally 100% in the "it's probably just a dream" category. Given the information at hand, that's the most likely explanation, and until more (and better) evidence arises, we have no reason to accept your god as a better explanation for the hypothetical facts described.
Evidence that one day you will stop being a clown and become rich will never ever eventuate unless you get off and move your backside and start doing something that will take you out the monetary sewer in which you are at the moment.
That is how rich people did.
Hard work but most of all taking some risks.
Feeling God within work along the same lines but unlike materialism there is no negative sides.
To enter the dimension in which lie the real McCoy of life involve a lot of hard work and taking the risk
that after all there is no McCoy.
And also the risk that believers tell you lies.
That however is up to you to decide.
Good luck son.
