Yes.

I need all of this. I not only imagine Īśwara/Guru/śāstra, but I also
imagine the requirement of Īśwara-kāruṇya, Guru-upadeśa, śāstra-prāmāṇya,
sampradāya. Just as I did in the dream. This seen is just a dream. Just as
in dream, not only I imagined an Ishwara who created that dream-world, but
also the requirement of Īśwara-kāruṇya, similarly now.

Mind is needed to understand intellectually the truth that all seen is
illusory. Once this knowledge is firm without any sort of pratibandhaka
whatsoever, one drops all seen, be it whatever. The connection-with-seen is
also a seen.
So, one situates in present moment, without paying any attention to any
seen.
