There are several indications that dreams do play out along a time line.
Dream researchers have found that we all dream several times a night,
and the dreams tend to have distinct natures depending on when in the
sequence they occur.

What is interesting is that what seems to be happening is actually the
reverse of the possibility mentioned.  When subjects were awakened and
asked to describe their dreams, the descriptions were generally bizarre
and metaphysical.  The same subjects, when describing the same dream
later, recalled much of the events, but the descriptions had become
less outrageous.  It seems that we create very unreal images in dreams,
and have trouble remembering those images in the light of day.

A further suggestion of dream occurrence is the REM activity (rapid
eye movements) which appear to be the eyes following the "action" of the
dream.
