Have you ever experienced this ..........
You dream of something very scary, then you woke up, looked at the clock shows at 7:00 AM. Your late moved to, when you arrive at the bus stop, the bus just left, you ran after and then hit by a big truck! then you wake up from sleep with a full sweat ... it was only a dream, when shown at 4:00 AM, you go to the kitchen for a drink because it confused with a dream within a dream that you experienced. After taking you back to sleep and then you wake up and realize that you do not have the same furniture and even wearing different clothes just as before. You realize that your activities awakened from a dream and went to the kitchen for a drink is just part of a long dream.
The question is: The human brain can build the world's known in the world in a dream. And the number of the world was built are not limited to, branches and even a very abstract level. so if this is the case, are you sure all your activities last 24 hours or even all your life is not part of the dream? how do you believe that you really - really have a life? what if you are currently just a hunk of brains in the laboratory which given electrical stimulation and drugs to the brain is still working and not die?

How do I know I'm not dreaming? Quite simple. I can't fly and the light-switch actually works.
Here's the thing... dreams can build worlds that seem just as real as the real world... but that doesn't mean you can't be sure you're not dreaming. As real as dreams can seem, they are not consistent. My reality is consistent. I walked out that door and I walked back in and found this room the exact way that I left it. In a dream the room could shift into my school's classroom or a street corner or ANYTHING. Dreams are not bound by the laws of reality. Reality is. If your dreams are as consistent as reality... there's probably a problem with your brain because that's not normal.
Plus if I am dreaming then that would mean that you and this discussion are not actually real. But if you're dreaming then that would mean me and my response to this discussion are not actually real... and seeing as how I feel very real I would resent you thinking that I'm not real. So who's dreaming? Me or you?

When it's really a dream come true.
For example, if you only dreamed of becoming a scientist but made no effort to reach that dream, the dream has no meaning. So, do not dream of if you feel the dream will not come true

The question is very complex, not the focus.
Discussed about the dream, namely:
Dreams are the subconscious experience involving sight, hearing, thinking, feeling, or other senses in sleep, especially during sleep accompanied by rapid eye movement (rapid eye movement / REM sleep).
The incident happened in a dream usually impossible in the real world, and beyond the power of the dreamer. The exception is in the dream, called Lucid Dreaming. In this dream, the dreamer realizes that he was dreaming when dreams are still ongoing, and is sometimes able to change the environment in his dream and to control some aspects of the dream.
Dreamer also can feel the emotion when dreaming, for example the emotion of fear in nightmares. The study of dreams is called oneirologi.
