The dream world is not endless it terms of it being physically infinite, it is endless as in it lasting forever, that is all the context revolving around dreams points towards, whether it be the soul tyrant or markoth's dialogue, they both point towards the idea of the dream world being immortal and lasting forever, such a point is even reinforced with the parallels between dream and void, with void having a similar statement of denying time, so the dream world being infinite is out
The Radiance's light being greater than essence does not suddenly make it outscale the entire dream world, in fact there are even dream world the radiance does not have access to as can be seen with the white palace. Essence only makes up the dream world, the radiance's light being greater than a building block, does not suddenly make it greater than the entire structure that is formed from it, a cube of tungsten is suddenly not more "powerful" than an entire forest because tungsten as a material is greater than wood.
The Lord of Shades did not consume the entire dream world, it consumed godhome, which is the dream of the godseekers, and one of many dream worlds around. This point is even further contradicted by the entire plot of silksong's true ending requiring hornet to delve into a dream world.
The knight quite literally cannot dodge the radiance's beams of light, you get an indicator and if you are in that indicator by the time the attack spawns you instantly get hit, in addition to that the radiance herself doesn't light up the dream world, no clue where you got that from.

Big props for the effort but I'll have to disagree.
Mainly, you're misunderstanding the "endless" statement. It's not referring to the physical size but the lifespan of a place. We can safely conclude this based on the context.
"a dream is endless, but a kingdom is not"
This directly references the Pale Kings attempt to create a kingdom that will last eternally.
A dream is endless as it can last without ending but not because it's literally physically endless.
And if the gameplay is anything to go off of, we can actually see the dreams are very much finite in size.
Same goes for the statement that Markoth is beyond time. This simply refers to the eternal nature of a dream where aging is no longer of concern. It's a very common figure of speech for unaging characters to say time has no power over them.
