A point on lucid dreaming from someone who lucid dreams a lot: If I ever find myself questioning if I m dreaming I always reason that I am since in real life I m always sure I m not so I never question it.
Obviously there are major flaws to this but I d argue that a good way to determine that real life isn t dreaming is the fact that there aren t really things that make us question if we are, in the same way that strange dream scenarios lead us to ask that same question. Philosophers question it but I don t think there s concrete evidence in real life that points to it being a dream in the same way that there is in dreams.

You can never know if you are dreaming, just as solipsism. You cannot prove reality.
But then Alan Watts once said, Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way. Meaning, is it right to question what reality is?
That's why Zen Buddhism got an answer for this, by not answering; and just by experiencing 'it'.

I once fell in my dream and i felt so real. I even talk in my dream and when I woke up I kinda think that I already had this conversation. I even asked my mom after waking up that did I talk to you about this thing. I even have my sister some insta profile growing idea in dream and asked my sister that if I told you anything or not but she said you just woke you-

The scenario goes like this: Aight, imma bout to sleep now so I'll try being aware in my dream
And then proceed to dream but not question the absurdities happening. It's like the dream doesn't allow you to be aware. And then in the morning, regret happens and you'll say something like Damn, why did I not realize that that was just a dream?

You wake up, you re still just a Lizard bathing in the sun on a Rock.
The Sentence Selling Feed Pics to pay for your College Debt is starting to already lose it meaning to you.
You lick yourself over the right eyeball with your tongue, it s time to eat some bugs, maybe even a spider.

From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole I've been told where I must go and who I must be. I've been shrunk, stretched, scratched, and stuffed into a teapot. I've been accused of being Alice and of not being Alice but this is my dream. I'll decide where it goes from here.

I like the surreal images of this video, very appropriate.
The good news is that it actually doesn't matter whether this reality is actually real or not, because we wouldn't know the difference anyways.
So let's enjoy this dream and see y'all on the flipside!

Waking life seems like a dream (or nightmare usually) most of the time so I wouldn't be surprised at all if, one day, I eventually find out my waking life was a dream. If that's the case though I need to wake up cause this dream is horrible.
