Have you ever been conscious of yourself in your dream?

Question

I have experienced this 3 times now (over a timespan of 5 years) ... it's like you 're awake and are in a spotlight: everything near you is clear, while things that are further away from you are dark, non-existing.

The first time I experienced this I thought I was paralyzed, unable to get up. But then I felt panick and managed to sit up (it was the same room as in my dream).

The following two times I could wake up at will.

Kinda fun!

Answer 1

I'm usually conscious of myself in a dream, I just assumed other people are too.  

What would be the alternative?

If I'm dreaming I'm somebody else then no.
