As for turning into one... well it's not gonna be via the tadpole they shove in your head during the intro - that thing's going to be replacing you. Your body may turn into a mind flayer but the person you're playing as is just killed in the process (not sure on the details but I'm certain that your character's soul would be passing on to the afterlife once the process finishes).
And you'd have to ask someone more familiar with mind flayers than me - I've only been reading up on them rather recently and all my tabletop RPG experience over the years has been in Pathfinder (which doesn't have mind flayers due to them being trademarks of Wizards of the Coast and so Paizo Publishing can't legally use them).
If you're still under 2 hours, refund it, and wait until the full game comes out, and ask again at that point. We can't answer yes or no, we have no idea.
In these dreams the "person your dreaming of" is trying to sway you on something and I assume that this person is the Absolute. On the other hand some sort of primal rage in your body wants to attack this person and I assume it is the tadpole.
I'm starting to think it the other way around though because you actually get a special psionic power of a mindflayer from the "person your dreaming of"
You can't "become" a Mindlfayer. Your brain turn into an alien creature that devour you from inside to grow up. The creature retain some of your memories, but its not "you".
Mindflayers are horrible alien monsters. Completly inhumans. They are unplayable unless you wrote a compleltly separate plot.
Probably not is this game. You might still become one as a "bad" ending.
A Mind flayer larva eat it's host brain at the pace of 1 INT per hour, when the host INT reach 0, their brain have been completely consumed and they are dead, it then take 7 days for the host body to be completely transformed in a Mind flayer. There is no memory or personality transfer, the larva simply eat the host brain without being affected by it content. In some very rare case there is a problem with the Ceramorphosis and the Mind flayer have some of the host memory, when it realise that it normally removed them. Ceramorphosis come from cere "brain" and morphe "form", it doesn't mean that you morph into a Mind flayer, but that the Mind flayer larva use your brain to form itself.
Your entire original (and wrong) argument is entirely founded on semantics, and you're accusing the counter-argument explaining why you're wrong of semantics?
Oh my god. That's chutzpah.

Even if you did become a Mind Flayer, you would likely end up as a slave to an Elder Brain.
I suspect the end of the game you'll turn into one if you played accordingly, and get to fight your party members who "disagreed".
You don't really have to be a hero in BG3 (you can run around killing everyone if you want to), but this has nothing to do with your imperative to get rid of the parasite that is maturing into a mind flayer inside of your head. Like, you've seen Alien, right? The chestburster is a "game over, man," so to speak.
This mirrors the first two Baldur's Gates, where you play a Bhaalspawn: a mortal puppet of the dead god of murder, Bhaal, engineered to be the fleshy vessel through which Bhaal will reincarnate himself (via, unsurprisingly, murder). First Sarevok and then Jon Irenicus want to use you and the latest god-power within you in order to gain the powers of godhood for themselves. This is not to your benefit. In the words of Gale, "This is to be avoided."
Wanting to "turn into the mind flayer" is a lot like those people at the beginning of Independence Day who wanted to meet the aliens and get abducted by them. But then I guess there really are people like that in real life, so...
