My interpretation:

Judging by the way that first sequence is set up and played out, yes... it's a standard cartoon nightmare sequence. It contains a number of strange occurances that even by the "logic" of this cartoon make no sense - for example, the reappearing walking stick, the fact that the desk with the jawbreakers still happens to be right there where it was left and the fact that all the "old people" pretty much look like zombies.?

However, Eddy wakes up from all this and we are led to believe that this was just a standard cartoon nightmare. Then, in a genius twist that no one sees coming, old man Eddy wakes up again. However, notice the difference in his attitude. Rather than freak out and start hitting himself, he just grumbles and sulks like... well, a grumpy old man. This isn't kid Eddy in a old man body - this sudden change in his attitude seems to imply that this is indeed reality!

In short - the first "old" sequence is a nightmare, the second part isn't :D
