The "brain" itself is just another material phenomenon / anatomical distinction expressed in experience, depicted as residing in a similarly exhibited / studied world. The natural system abstracted from the empirical latter espouses a circular inter-dependence, of explaining those macro / micro contents and events of extrospective consciousness with each other. So curiously [yet properly within the natural approach], the brain will indeed be championed as producing its fellow manifestations and understandings (collectively known as the cosmos represented as surrounding a brain/body) from inputted information. Yet as part of the loop and straddling the fence, those outer affairs are also granted independent status from the organ and serve as the current and deep historical causes of the brain and the sensory data it receives.
If you're instead referring to the universe of your dreams, then it might safely be taken to be fully produced by the brain. Neither a faithful imitation of neural structure / activity nor sporting qualitative symbols of an alternative existence beyond the waking world. Such might arguably even be "infinite", if you were in a perpetual dreaming coma traveling in an ceaselessly powered spaceship, your brain / body never died, and there was adherence all the time to the same virtual reality being explored. Since your brain could continuously generate new territory to be "seen". Of course, the aforementioned "adherence" includes sticking to a better plan of regulation for that reality than the goofy arbitrariness often exhibited by dream-worlds.
