It seems as though early on, Connie was controlling the memory/dream, since we see Connie's mum combined with Yellow, and Steven might have been filling in Yellow later on. Then, we see a Gem in place of Stevonnie's reflection, referred to as Pink, and resembles the Diamonds we already know, except smaller. From this analysis, we might conclude that this a memory/dream from Pink's perspective, and with no prior basis, the depiction of PD must be unbiased/accurate, but I think there are at least two other considerations/explanations.
 * If Connie imagined Yellow as Priyanka, then why didn't Steven imagine Pink as Rose Quartz?

1.  We actively witness a transition in the dream sequence. It goes from Connie's house and a giant Priyanka, to a giant Priyanka with YD's eyes (~10%). Somehow, the scene changes to YD's control room, and Priyanka appears "fused" with YD (~50%). Also, the names change from "mum" and "honey" to "Yellow" and "Pink", and the dialogue at the transition starts out like the first half (compare "hey mum" with "Hey Yellow" ). Visually I think this is meant to depict similarities between the relationships between Connie and her mum to that of Yellow and Pink.  It's possible that if Stevonnie hadn't awoken when they did, we might've seen a "full" Yellow Diamond, as Dr. Maheswaran was already becoming less of herself.

2.  If we consider a visual representation of the former metaphor, then the YD/Dr. M mashup was more than Connie not knowing what YD looked like, and likely served as a reference for both Stevonnie and the viewer to understand. I believe the sequence starts with a Connie POV because Steven probably doesn't have a being in his life with whom he shares a relationship similar to that of YD and PD. In this case, a Rose Quartz/PD mashup wouldn't make much sense, if we are to assume the personalities of said Gems are different. Steven technically didn't even know his mother, but based from Greg and the CGs, she was not juvenile like PD. In support of this assumption, in spite of all the changes/transitions that occur in the dream, Stevonnie remains the same. It isn't until we see what should be Stevonnie's reflection that Pink appears; even the balled-up fist is Stevonnie's, as though they were inserted into a situation without realizing who was/had actually experienced this, suddenly giving the situation more meaning.

I mean, it is certainly possible PD looked like that, but YD was definitely depicted differently, likely because of her role in the experience. On the other hand PD was quite unlike RQ (at least broadly), so if she doesn't appear like RQ, that makes sense.
