What I got of it is that Snapper's lore specifies dreaming as not going into a separate world but as a state while Boralion's dreaming is literally travelling into different worlds. It's distinct enough that the plagiarism accusations are kinda a reach to me but I can see why staff would want to remove implications of any similarity, starting with the wording, even if it was a coincidence. Also in 2013, FR wasn't exactly an established petsite it is today compared to Valenth so it's not surprising that staff would bend over to them, especially since they did mention possible legal action in their first email.
