I get what you're trying to do, but I wouldn't try to come up with concrete worked out abilities unless one of the PCs is going to need to use it.

But then the actual Dream Projection from Psionic Powers looks ways too powerful - this is the ability to invade anyone's dream sphere, and they don't even get a resist roll (because the implied cosmology in the Psi Dream stuff has a unified shared dream world) *and* Astral Travel is built on Insubstantial, not Jumper, which I do not like at all.

I don't see a issue here because one projects his mind and the other goes there bodily. Both have their benefits and drawbacks. What you need to do is figure out what you are using Astral Travel as it is built or something else. Then DON'T use the other. Your issues I think are stemming from the "I want to use it all" mentality. Sometimes...you can't. It sucks, but it happens. Figure out what works best for the campaign and dump what doesn't.

Dream Matter is a Large category for Create if you are using the Dreamworld often, or a Medium one. For control, it's Control (Dreams) 30/level] or Control (Dream Matter) [20/level], neither work for intelligent beings unless you add a +100% version of Cosmic called "Vital Manipulation."
