Have you read any/much H.P. Lovecraft? Dream worlds (and dream argument) are very old literary plot devices. The (dream worlds) article doesn't mention it specifically, but I suspect the concept has origins in recurring dreams.

I've never had a psychotic episode (I think after forty-mumble years together, my wife would have mentioned something... ) and I've never gotten into dream interpretation, but I've had my share of recurring dreams (and hence, dream worlds), and I'm (quite often) a lucid dreamer.

Gotta love "normal weird" too...
