I too agree that creating a second "dream character" feels a bit tacked on and out of sequence. Consequently, moving this sequence to the moment before the first dream as suggested would be good. Better yet, incorporate the creator into the cutscene, leading with cutscene dreaming and making the creation more "dreamy" with swirling mists and blurred vision (growing sharper as dream character appearance is chosen), before resuming the initial dream sequence.
For most people of Faerun, a drow would more likely be the stuff of nightmares, so changing the default dream character to the same race as the player and opposite sex would be better. If the PC police allows such affront to dogma. This way it would feel more appropriately in sequence of events, be less confusing to some people, while also being functional and immersive.

And taking into account what happened after CP2077 I guess you're right about that "what would happen if it was always the opposite sex".
"Erasure. Normativism."
Which is sad, because, as Sigmund Freud (I happened to study at a university named after him) said: "sometimes a cigar is nothing but a cigar".
Also, nothing could be further from the truth, but default options should reflect the statistical majority. UX people know what I'm talking about.
