Either way, it just implies that the last scene is a dream, which the movie clearly presents as an open question.
Whether the Entire Film is a dream is another issue entirely, and the film is not explicit about that at all.
I agree with LSPE that the characters were cyphers, but that's just another "flaw" (along with the gaping plot holes) that I patch-up nicely with my it's-all-a-dream theory.
But yeah, it would have been a stronger film with stronger characters. That's gonna be pretty hard to do with Leo DiCaprio in the lead. And, despite the lack of strong characters, there was a pretty stellar cast in this film - - so I guess it was the script that had them all so shadow-depth.
