Could AI world models make real-time VR feel like dreaming within 20 years?

A Reddit user asks whether real-time VR “dreaming” could become possible within the next 20 years, pointing to Google’s Genie as an example of increasingly realistic world models.
The core question is whether AI world models can eventually support an almost dream-like experience: a hyper-realistic environment where the user can go anywhere and create anything. The poster says they’re asking because lucid dreaming is difficult and remembering dreams is even harder.
