Looks pretty obvious to me. He's hinting that Tidus might still live after the fayth stops dreaming.
I don't think so, because both Jecht and Tidus were gone for over 3 years.
By "More than a dream" I think he simply meant that they are no longer simply interacting with the dream world, but with the real (or outside) world.
When you go to sleep at night and have a dream, it doesn't directly affect your real life does it? If it did, then it would be "more than just a dream."
Sin pulled Tidus out of the Dream Zanarkand, and possibly the same thing happened to Jecht before.
Also, Dream Zanarkand isn't a dream per say. It actually existed somewhere in Spira all along. Exactly where, they didn't specify.

i still don't quite understand how Yu yevon made the fayth dream. Can u clairfy that more please?
Yeah they never explained that in the game. But rather afterwards in the Ultimania Guide instead.
Here's a link to a translation of the guide.

Yevon, Yu Yevon and the Yevon Church
At the time of the Millenium War, Yevon was the leader of Zanarkand, and supposedly the most powerful summoner alive. On the day of the Bevellian assault, he gathers the survivors and leads them to Mt. Gagazet, where they are all made into fayth.
When this is accomplished, Yevon begins summoning an idealized memory of Zanarkand, "the City which never sleeps".
In order to protect both himself and Dream Zanarkand, he gathers pyreflies around him with gravity spells and forms the first Sin - which then rampages through the Bevellian armies who were closing in on Mt. Gagazet and finishes ruining the original Zanarkand.
Prior to this, Yevon's daughter, Yunalesca, had fled with her husband Zaon. Over the next couple of years, as Sin rampages through Spira, Yunalesca approaches the Bevellian leadership and begins to negotiate a peculiar deal: Bevelle will pay tribute to the memory of Yevon. It is not entirely clear whether the cult and Yevon Church is established immediately or whether it evolves gradually over a century or more. It is also unclear whether that had all been planned by Yevon himself or whether Yunalesca was acting on the opportunity.
Anyway, to those in the know, Yevon himself becomes known as "Yevon Ju", the Curse of Yevon (Yu Yevon in English). In exchange, Yunalesca goes to the ruins of Zanarkand, turns her husband into the first fayth for the Final Summoning, and defeats Sin, by melting its outer shell.
It is possible to imagine (but not directly supported by the game) that Yunalesca may have been able to communicate with Yevon before summoning the final aeon, and strike a deal with him, one which would include an immunity of Bevelle from Sin's offensive programming.
Regardless of whether such an exchange actually took place or not, Yevon takes over the aeon Zaon as a core to form Sin anew. The shock from this takeover kills Yunalesca. Bound by the deals she struck, she remains unsent in Zanarkand, capable, over time, to extend her reach considerably to manipulate fiends several miles from her location.
Regardless of how much initial planning was done between Yunalesca and Bevelle before she left, it stands to reason to assume that over the years, some guardians were able to return to the Church with the account of how the whole Final Summoning worked. I have personally no doubt that those survivors were quickly executed to avoid spreading any rumors of an endless cycle. In any case, Seymour at least would be able to tell the tale once he became a maester.
Over the centuries, the Yevon Church extended its influence over much of Spira, taking existing traditions and molding them into the Yevon canon. With the development of the pilgrimages, their hold on the various temples holding the fayths effectively lets them "hold the key to Spira's salvation", in the eyes of a terrified populace. This is of course also one reason, beyond any deal struck with Yunalesca, why Bevelle themselves prohibit usage of Machina and ostracize the Al Bhed: If people started to believe Sin could be defeated by means outside of the Church's control, Bevelle would loose a lot of influence.
