It's actually good, I think. It tells us several things in three words:
-- That the next thing we see will be a dream sequence. -- That the dream has recurred to the dreamer many times -- That the dream is significant to the story. -- That we are fairly warned not to interpret the events as reality, so the author is not misleading us. The author thus establishes some credibility for her treatment of the reader. None of this "... and it was all a dream!" stuff.
It may not stand as a complete story, but it is a good opener.
