Not at all! Dreams cannot be considered rational by any stretch of the imagination, but they are not false.
Logic must bend to experience. There was a time when European scientists denied that rocks could fall from the sky. Logically, the sky is made of air, so how can rocks come from the sky? Yet eventually scientists accepted the existence of meteorites.
Emotions, by definition, aren't rational. Would you want to live a life without friendship or love?

Love isn't rational it's emotional. But nothing is more true than true love.
There is a time to be rational & a time to be emotional.
Who decides what is true or false? Often it's a matter of opinion. You could argue religion or various phenomena are true or false. You believe what you believe. If it's real to you & helps you to live a better life then that's all that matters.

Logic has pretty strict rules for what is considered true and what is considered false. If you cannot prove something is false, then it is just undetermined. Even if it is irrational, completely made up, or arbitrary.
For example, I might believe that there is a planet of unicorns somewhere in the universe. I have no basis for this belief. But, since we do not know about all the planets in our universe, the possibility exists (even if it is very small). The statement, "There is a planet inhabited by unicorns.", may be either true or false. We simply lack the information to determine which it is at this time.
You may, if you wish, call such statements 'meaningless', 'unprovable', or 'irrelevant', but they are NOT false.
Peace.

Life is full of infinite absurdities, which, strangely enough, do not even need to appear plausible, since they are true.
- Luigi Pirandello
That said, why would I disallow you from making a conclusion? Some things we think are false turn out to be true, or close to true. Ether has resurged as Dark Matter, which happens to fill the spaces in between heavenly bodies, for instance.

Love and attraction are not always rational. That doesn't mean they are false.

New discoveries of what scientist said were not possible are expending that nothing is irrational in todays world.

I'm don't believe you can ever truly falsify anything, because you'd have to test every instance in which it is possible.

yes, because we all are cowards, when things are not rationalize, then we fear so we try to say it is not true or yes it is true.
fear of unknown

no you cannot evaluate it as false although you cannot say it is a proven fact either.

no because our ration is small in proportion to reality
