If dreams are not a part of reality then why do they feel so

Probably because performing actions and experiencing "stimulus" in a dream involves the same (or similar) brain activity as the real life equivalents. Science can't say that dreams aren't real but do we have any reason to believe they might be?

In what way do you mean real? Do you think we get sent to another dimension or something? What sort of explanation do you have?
Hallucinations feel real to people. That doesn't mean they really exist outside of a person's head. Dreams are like that.

When you dream, large quantities of Dimethyltryptamine is being dumped from your pineal gland, in the centre of your brain. This is the most potent hallucinogen known to man.

It is also a candidate for the type of brain chemical that causes the electromagnetic field available to our senses, to collapse into what we call reality. In other words, dreams are the way they are because you're tripping - but so is waking life. It's all the same, that's why it feels real. Trying to understand reality outside of your direct experience, is like trying to bite your own teeth.

You're playing word games with "real"

Every experience you have is actual. It happens. Some happen external to you, in the "real" world. Some happen within your mind. Dreams are "real" in the sense that they actually happen. They are "unreal" in the sense that they don't happen in the outside world we choose to label "reality"

Because your brain can emulate everything it's already wittnessed or even more.

Our dreams are created by an advanced species. It's like computer code to them.
