That Ozpin bit would be poor writing. You don't just introduce temporal shenanigans without clearly telegraphing that it is a possibility. In this case RWBY is not really science fiction of the sort that would allow it, nor is it fantasy of the similar type. To give Ozpin temporal manipulation is completely unbalanced.

As to it being a dream, I'm firmly in that camp. I don't see the problem with it being "just a dream," as you put it. It's a scene which is all of a minute, in which very little happens. More importantly, it's an important dream, because it signifies that her mother is haunting Yang's dreams, impelling her to reinvigorate her search for her mother. And what, pray tell, is the "Bobby fiasco"?
