An excellent animated feature, "Waking Life," explores these ideas. As usual, one of the most rewarding cinematic experiences arrived by recommendation -- I rarely see movies unless someone tells me about them. I also rarely recommend them, but this is an exception.

The movie has a great trick for checking the waking/dreaming/lucid state. I will leave it for those who watch to find out. It is the best method I have found yet.

How many times can you wake up in one day without going to bed again?
My record is 3 times, so far.  Now that's one weird way to have a day!
So....how do I know I'm awake now?
I can't know. I would have to 'wake up' to know...over and over again.
[YAAAAAA!]
I proved to myself beyond doubt that Thinking I'm awake and experiencing
'being' awake is not the least bit of proof that I 'am' awake.
