Duplicate of How does one know one is not dreaming?
Sep 22 at 11:22 comment added Gerry How would a philosopher answer this question as opposed to the scientist? What kind of an answer are you looking for? Are you asking how we experienced dreaming differently from consciousness? A question that might be answerable by philosophy? Or are you asking for a scientific definition that delineates the difference? In short, the answer to how to distinguish dream experience from conscious experience depends on what is meant by the concepts.

Jan 5, 2017 at 7:48 comment added user22791 We know we are alive because "alive" is the definition we give to the thing we are experiencing. In order for the question to even exist, you must have some empirical distinction between the two states already otherwise there would be nothing to ask if we were experiencing one or the other. Whatever that empirical distinction is that prompts you to ask, that makes the question matter, that's how you'd tell.
