I think what fred is trying to say is because people will tend to believe him when he said he dreamt about a pony, there is no direct evidence for this therefore god can be real and he can expect to be believed without providing evidence.
EXCEPT
A:dreams do happen, (I dreamt about Geri Halliwell last night for some reason)
b:we can see them happen they are in the rapid eye movement stage of sleep.
c:brain wave activity can be monitered during sleep.
d:dreams are a well documented common phenomenon.
e:I'm sure you wouldnt be the only person to ever dream about ponies.
So what we have is a very oridinary claim about a common phenomenon, it does rely on the dreamer being truthful about the content of the dream but does not require extradinary proof because it is not an extradinary claim.
