It was definitely not a dream. Keep in mind in the last book we had "Cody" after Cody was dead, so while this could legitimately be Ned, it also could legitimately not be Ned. If it is Ned, I am willing to bet that he's under some sort of mind control and it's remotely possible that he was only brought back to make the MC think he/she had a dream because Arthur is deep into whatever this is and actually has some care for his grandkids (or maybe as a "keep quiet" bribe about what happened to his daughter, the MC and Elliot's mom because he's been complaining and now they are doing this so that his grandchild will live, so he's better keep his mouth shut).
