I woke up the other morning, and my first thought was, "Man, that dream really felt like I was awake. But I know I was dreaming because that situation wasn't real."

But, then, later I woke up, got up and started my day. So, now, I'm wondering. I *know* the first dream really was a dream. But the first waking, I'm not so sure. Was I dreaming that I woke up or not? And I'm not sure how I could ever figure the answer out...

I've realized for a long time that, at least for me, the memory of something works the same, whether it is a memory of a dream or of an actual occurrence. But I'm usually pretty sure which one it is, unlike this time...
