You present fair points.

I basically just want a perfectly mundane dream, because then, it's all Yang, rather than someone leading her along. The character exploration and driving forces generated are entirely things going on in her head, rather than someone else guiding her. It makes Yang a more complex character, and is thus better character development.

Prophetic dreams are things which can happen to any fictional character, and they're contractually obligated to follow up on. Normal, mundane dream show that the character actually has her own agenda, her own predispositions, and her own mind. It makes her seem more real, not less (since we here cannot receive anything remotely like a prophetic dream). It leads to better and more subtle character growth and development.
