My understanding was always that Yu Yevon and the Fayth created dream Zanarkand and Sin just before Zanarkand was destroyed by Bevelle, in order to preserve its memory.
I also seem to recall that Sin protected dream Zanarkand from discovery or interference to preserve its own ongoing existence, since Sin was constantly being summoned by the Fayth.
By that point, Jecht was Sin, he had asked Auron (who was unsent by then) to watch over Tidus in dream Zanarkand, and wanted to bring Tidus to Spira. That was the cause of the attack at the beginning of the game.
Jecht went from Zanarkand to Spira by swimming out too far and coming into contact with the previous incarnation of Sin while it was still healing, I think?
Dream Zanarkand did still exist after that attack, otherwise Sin wouldn’t have existed throughout the game. That’s why when Sin is defeated before the eternal calm, Tidus also goes to the farplane with the Fayth. Either both exist, or neither exist.

So wait, why did Sin then attack Zanarkand?
Did Jehct pull a fast one when Yu Yevon was having a nap?
Also how the hell did Jehct leave in the first place?
Did Dream Zanarkand stop existing after Sins attack?
Or was it still there, licking its wounds while Tidua played blitzball with the country folk?
