If this is just a dream and nothing matters, why I should be good to other people?

Because loving others is its own reward and fearing/hating others is its own punishment. Try both and see this mechanic.

There are no shoulds or shouldn'ts but it's very likely you'll feel much better by contributing than by draining.

In the end, when you love others you are loving yourself and when you attack others you are only attacking yourself.

Also beware to balance nothing matters with everything matters and everything is imaginary with everything is real.

God made it so if you help people it helps you. Whatever you do to reality it will do back in some shape or form.

Sadhguru say we are playing a giving game but there's nothing to give so we are just playing a game.

I contemplated a lot about it but didn't find a final answer.

Its easy. God wants a good dream, not a nightmare. What do you want to dream at night. You like nightmares?

I believe God wants us to build and show character. To grow and evolve. Welcome to spiritual school. 

He will eventually pick us up in his rocketship. No one left behind.

Ill slowly skin you alive and you’ll have your answer. Imagination and real are the same thing. There is no difference.

Who said you should behave in this or that way?

You might as well cure cancer, play video games, or anything else; reality ultimately doesn't care, but you of course do.

"Should" comes from a value system or ideal. However, you don't want to use this as a justification for harmful or foolish actions. Treating others reasonably well leads to a more seamless interaction (with exceptions) and is overall an intelligent collective survival strategy. 

On an individual level, you wouldn't want to be treated poorly or disrespectfully. You'd realize the consequences that such behavior has on the other person. Conversely, being "good" (depends on what that means to you) generally leads to mutual benefits, even though you could spit at their face.
