Could it be that all dreams have this sort of affect, increasing the power of a spell rather than giving a new spell to a mage? For example, the dispirsial dream that all the archmages seem to love to use may be a weak spell which was enhanced by the magic of the runestone. Thus, instead of sucking, it would be a fairly decent spell.
Also, the confinement dream used by the Deceiver may have been weak in it's early stages, strong enough to trap ordinary men, but the dream enabled him to trap the Watcher, the 2nd or 3rd most powerful sorcerer.
This could explain a lot about the different dreams..
