As I've said before, my dreams are quite vivid, and are very real when they are happening. Some people dream in black and white and see only shadows and blurbs...well not me. I see everything in brilliant colors, just like in waking life. So anyway, sometimes in waking life, I often question if what is happening to me is really occurring, or if I am only dreaming it. One can never be too sure.

To test if I am dreaming or not, I often look at my hands, and if they stay the same and do not morph in any way, then I am probably not dreaming. Although sometimes I have looked at my hands in dreams and they do not change, and I still don't know what's real or not.

Another thing I do is ask myself "Am I dreaming?" and then I try to fly by imagining myself lifting off the ground, and obviously if I can fly then I must be dreaming.

On rare occassions, I wonder if I really had a conversation with someone at all, or if I just imagined it, so I check my call log on my phone just to be sure. That's taking it to the extreme though.
