Unfortunately strangeness is not enough. To test if I a dream, I often test if I am able to fly. Once I made a dream, which I suspected to be a dream, so I decided to fly (going to my school). I did fly indeed, but with some difficulties, so that I concluded that I was not dreaming, because I was not flying very well. Then I woke up, notice the illogical conclusion, and asked myself how we could be so wrong. I felt completely awake, and after noting all those reflexion, I woke up again. False awakening are frequent when doing lucid dreaming, and it leads very often to “contra-lucid dream”, in which we get convinced to be awake (and notice it consciously) just to be refuted a second after. Experimentally, I don’t know any state of consciousness not capable of being lived in a dream.
