You could be suffering from "lucid dreams", caused by different chemicals. Here are some of the "reality checks" that you can do to make sure you are awake if you aren't sure:

Reality testing (or reality checking) is a common method used by people to determine whether or not they are dreaming. It involves performing an action with results that will be different if the tester is dreaming. By practicing these tests during waking life, one may eventually decide to perform such a test while dreaming, which may fail and let the dreamer realize that they are dreaming.

Common reality tests include:

The nose reality check: Pinch your nose and if you are able to breathe without using your mouth, it is a dream.

Try to stick your finger through the palm of your hand.

Flipping a light switch. Light levels rarely change as a result of the switch flipping in dreams.



Looking into a mirror; in dreams, reflections from a mirror often appear to be blurred, distorted, incorrect or frightening.
