How would that work? Actually I think a lot of the comments on this are assuming something distinctly unlike dreams. Dreaming about someone does not mean you are seeing their entire life, or reading their mind, and certainly does not mean you are uploading their memories or controlling their actions!
For the learning things tangent, I might be willing to stretch "real" dreams to justifying a default in something you've seen in dreams but not in reality, but that's about it. We're talking about a fraction of an hour a night of watching something non-interactive that isn't structured to teach you anything. I suppose that might generously stretch to a character point a decade.
