So, I'm trying to build "In my dream, I ran through a meadow full of flowers"
in Japanese, but I'm having some problems...

  1. Is 夢の中で a valid way of saying "In the dream"?

  2. Should that comma be there?

  3. The 花がいっぱい草地で to say "In a field/meadow full of flowers" part is correct?

No. Your sentence is perfectly grammatical but 花がいっぱい走っていた means "[flowers
were running in flocks](https://stock.adobe.com/images/spring-background-with-
running-flowers-the-idea-for-kids-or-cards-vector-illustration/102686678)".
You have to say 花がいっぱい **の** 草地 **を** 走っていた. いっぱい without の is an adverb that
modifies the next verb (走る). With this の, 花がいっぱい is parsed as a relative
clause that modifies 草地:

  * 草地は花がいっぱいだ。  
The field is full of flowers.

  * 花がいっぱいの草地  
the field which is full of flowers

And to say "through/across", you need to use を before 走る. See:
