True enough, there is no definitive test to determine whether you currently are awake or dreaming!. also true is that each stage of human development from brutish to divine is like waking up from a dream!.

However, we can tell the overall difference between our everyday waking states and our dreaming states insofar as our waking states have continuity whereas our dreaming states do not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Who's asking!?
Who's talking to someone s/he never meet before!?
This is not a dream, you can name it dreaming though!.

If you feel the real pain of life, it's not dreaming !
If you cannot get rid of it, to make it roll faster or slower, things happen one by one or mixed together !.!.!. but require you to solve them one by one, this is not dreaming!.!.!.

If you are, I'm not!.

Good question, anyway !Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me there is no confusing the difference between being asleep and being awake!.

While asleep I dream, but have no dreams knowing I am dreaming!. My dreams are stories I am apart of!.

When I awaken I'm often aware of my dreams, can often remember them and can interpret them!.

Being awake is too obvious to be dreaming!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
