@lanturn they even have a page for "alternate character readings" on TVTropes. I recommend going there for more information on the subject. I'd say more myself, but I don't wanna type up too many messages with this annoying character limit, but be aware that I was NOT questioning the original in any way. BTW, "yume" isn't the only instance where it occurs in this song; at 3:05 the kanji is 運命 (unmei), but is read as "sadame" (which still means "fate"). Either way, "saka rin" is wrong.
@lanturn as I said, several Japanese artists like to have fun with kanji readings. Basically, you have kanji to show the meaning, but furigana (little characters above kanji) show how it's actually said. For example, One Piece has the "Gomugomu no Pistol" using the kanji for gun 銃 but reading it as the English "pistol". It can also be done with words that're slightly, but not exactly, similar (like "yume" and "akumu"). Some manga even display furigana for "aitsu" next to someone's name.
The translation is sloppy in quite a few places. For example, how the hell do you get "anti-accomplishment" from 友達 ("tomodachi", not "tan tachi")? Also, at 2:37, the lyrics read 悪夢 (akumu; nightmare), though the vocals clearly say "yume" (dream). It's fine that the translation says "nightmare" (as that was the intended meaning), but the romanized lyrics shouldn't have "akumu". Several song-writers just love to play around with furigana (kanji readings), so you need to watch out for that.
I swear I heard a Slow version of this... Does anyone know where I can fine it...?

I believe 3:32 should be "for your sake," not "you're good."
