A very sensible summary indeed. 

Yes, that's a very realistic explanation posted by Sister Heba.

Btw, would you know anything about that non-Quranic story that's been circulating for a while that dreams shortly before or after Fajr come true?

This idea of dreams being true before or after Fajr comes from one of Abu Huraira's ahadith, and nothing he said has ever been confirmed by the Noble Quran.  Following is that hadith:

Narrated by Abu Hurayra in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi and Ahmad, Malik.  "Our Lord - Blessed and Exalted is He! - descends every night to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night and says: Who is supplicating Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?"

Allah Almighty has confirmed no such concepts.  Sometimes a dream at such a time may have some connections with truth but not necessary.  It all depends on the Will of Allah.   No matter what time the dream comes, we need to be focused on the contents/quality of the dream to perceive its possible message.   And only Allah knows best.
