No, they are not the same. A simple sentence has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought: it can stand on its own and it makes sense. For example: I love ice cream. Jerry is a student. We visited New York. But a dependent clause cannot stand on its own-- it "depends" on an independent clause or it won't make any sense. For example: While I was working... (what happened?). If she wins the lottery... (what will she do?). As you can see, a dependent clause needs some additional information; in a sentence, it will be linked to an independent clause. So: While I was working, my brother sent me a text message. If she wins the lottery, she wants to go to Europe on vacation.

A dependent clause in a complex sentence is introduced by a subordinating conjunction, such as "because," "although," "if," or "when."

For example, in the sentence "Although it was raining, we went for a walk," "Although it was raining" is the dependent clause.
