Poets and philosophers have posed similar questions throughout history. However, we now have the ability to observe the activity of the mind through brain scans, as well as many years of documented research by psychiatrists, psychologists and therapist. While there continue to be mysteries surrounding both dreaming and the mind, we can be quite certain that all dreams take place within the mind, and the brain, of the dreamer.

How does a person know if they are awake or dreaming?

Generally the best way to know whether or not a person is awake or asleep is how they see themselves acting in a dream. While dreaming a person normally is not exactly like themselves, more of an exaggerated version of some of their characteristics. The biggest problem however is while in a dream, unless the person is in a lucid dream, there is not a way of knowing they are in the dream until they wake up.
