Okay, here's my thoughts.
I think enlightened humans have been preparing us lately for a different age. I guess for about 2000 years the christians set the path for mankind into the future.
the rest of the world kinda got dragged up in it. Only recently it seems that atheistm really challenged the god theory and is closer to the truth so people stop believing in christ altogether.
This is not limited to christianity.. Atheism is global and so does it affect the islam and other religions.

Since it seems that industrial china is getting more power by the day in terms of money and i think i saw some fancy graph somewhere that by 2025 or something china will be the biggest economical force on the planet. Other countries in the east seem to be growing aswell.
So if the east is rising in power its culture should rise with it. And that opens doors to possibilities that don't fit into the bible or the islam. I think that's what all this fuzz is really about between these religious institutions. They realize their not in charge anymore and start to see threats in other institutions.

so.. dreaming might help in this transition to accept other cultures into their lifes by exploring what they are really about. Because, if dreaming is like the naked you. Without something distracting you or a crazy world bombing cities and people for profit.
Then dreaming is the perfect tool to learn what you want and how you really want your life to be. And i think that might help in letting go of your believes and seeing for yourself what the world is really about. And maybe it turns out life has spiritual meaning. Just something you can't find in a book or on the TV.

"if dreaming is like the naked you"
It's not. Dreaming is like free association imagination, without the conscious interference (except LDs).
Imagination is, memories (including the person's believes) putt together in other ways (like Lego... kinda).
If a person is a believer - there's a big chance that he'll have dreams supporting his belief. Sometimes religious people don't really believe subconsciously. In that case - they might find themselves face to face with their real belief.
A lot of people have contradictions between different parts of their consciousness and belief systems. Dreams and Lucid Dreams maybe can help a person to be more whole; but it defends on what he initially believes in.

"i think i saw some fancy graph somewhere that by 2025 or something china will be the biggest economical force on the planet."
Don't forget the principle of the tendency of systems to stabilize. Things don't grow forever. The graph probably didn't take this into consideration.

"Only recently it seems that atheistm really challenged the god theory and is closer to the truth so people stop believing in christ altogether."
There is no "God theory"; not a scientific one; so it cannot be challenged. Science doesn't need to disprove the idea of god; but you can do that if you'll look enough; easily. You could do that a long time ago. Philosophically - even centuries ago.
People won't stop believing because of a logical disprove; they don't thing logically, if they would - they wouldn't believe. A belief contradicts logic.
