Not to be a d-bag by replying to my own post, but I wonder if it was BioWare's (or rather, EA's) intent all along to leave the ending open to interpretation as to whether it was "all a dream" (IT) or not. If they waited for another game to clarify that, I suppose it would leave them more options for the franchise's future....they could go IT, and have another game featuring Shep (BioWare wouldn't be the first company to say "we won't make any more games featuring so-and-so," then turn around a few years later and do just that), or they could go with a literal interpretation and do a totally new game about, well, almost anything.
