Time Bandits: Was it a dream, or not?

1. The first bit of evidence is when Wally's machine guns goes off accidentally in Kevin's bedroom. If it had really happened, surely Kevin's parents would have heard it and come to investigate. Kevin's dad did come in to investigate the first night (when the knight and horse supposedly came through Kevin's bedroom), but likely because Kevin hopped out of bed and was rumbling around.
2. Throughout the movie, Kevin and the bandits drop out of the time portals in the sky from high distances and land on the ground on on top of people, and not only does anybody not die, nobody is even injured from these falls.
3. There's a lot of details that seem like the stuff of a kid's imagination, not reality:
Napoleon Bonaparte gets angry with his generals and fires them all, only to replace them with Kevin and the bandits... A giant has a boat as a hat... The dinosaur bones in the desert indicate that there are dinosaurs walking around, and yet they break the barrier that's hiding the Fortress of Darkness by simply throwing a skull at it...
4. How did the bandits convince all those people at the end to come and help? Seems unlikely, and again, the work of a child's overactive imagination.
5. Just as the video above points out, much of what is in Kevin's adventure we see in Kevin's bedroom: the knights, the ancient Greek soldiers, the tank, the spaceship, the chessboard, etc.
6. The fact that Kevin (seemingly) woke up at the end does not necessarily mean that he's actually awake: he fell asleep in ancient Greece as well. Both instances of falling asleep and waking are all part of the dream. If Kevin's parents blowing up really happened, you'd think somebody would have noticed. I mean, Kevin yells "Don't touch it!" and there's a loud explosion and his parents explode! Yet the firefighters just pack up and leave, and nobody comes to console the boy who is apparently an orphan now.
