Honestly, both ideas make sense.

Raven is DEFINITELY Yang's mom. There is no denying that. However, the idea that Yang dreamed her meeting Raven could have happened. I mean, Yang, and all of Team RWBY, went to bed. And after that day, I doubt Yang would be willing to get up in the middle of the night without being noticed.

In short, Raven did show up during Yang's fight with Neo. But Yang only dreamed her meeting with Raven, which is why Raven looks EXACTLY like Yang.
