    There are a number of reality checks that you can do to check whether you’re awake or (lucid) dreaming. I would suggest that you try some of those.

    For example, apparently your hands always look odd in dreams. They might seem fine until you try to focus on them, then suddenly you’ll notice they’re the wrong colour or shape or have the wrong number of fingers.

    There are also some other reality checks in that Wiki if you’re feeling bored.

      Count the fingers in your head or out loud. They may have the wrong number of fingers, the number may change while you try to count them, the fingers can be deformed and keep on changing when you look at them.

      Ah shit, my suspicion was correct - I’m an AI, and a bad one at that. Now I know why the world around me doesn’t feel real.
