"This may not be the best thing to try while awake but sometimes it can be effective if in fact you are dreaming. In "reality" if you asked people if we were in a dream, their response would be to accuse you of being insane, yet in the dream realm, it is sometimes a different matter. Usually the dream characters will deny that it is a dream, but they deny it with an air of denial. They usually never question your sanity, and in some cases, they don't even understand what you are saying and disregard you entirely. Also, on rare occasions, someone in your dream will admit that it is in fact a dream." -quoted from consciousdreaming.com
This is exactly what has happened to me when I questioned dream characters. Once, I was in a park and I walked up to a man in a trench coat and asked him if he knew how to fly. He just looked at me, grunted, and kept on walking.
Another time, I was talking to my mom out in the backyard. I asked her, "Are you my real mom?" And she responded with, "Of course I am!"
However, I knew without a doubt that I was dreaming, so I pressed her and asked again, "Are you real?"
She looked down at the ground and slowly said, "No.." She sounded really sad.
Anyways, who knows what dream characters are thinking? I can't wait until I have another lucid dream so I can discover more. ^ ^
I kind of gave up for a bit, but now I'm back just in time for summer.
