On whether dreaming helps generalisation:

Validation Loss per Epoch (lower = better):

Without Dreaming:
[0.360, 0.0489, 0.0154, 0.0117, 0.0114]

With Dreaming:
[0.454, 0.0582, 0.0171, 0.0119, 0.0111]

Interpretation:

At the start, both agents are noisy, but the dreaming agent is slightly worse (0.454 vs 0.360).

By epoch 5, they converge almost identically (0.0111 vs 0.0114).

Dreaming did not provide significant generalisation improvement here. If anything, it made the early learning a bit slower.
