Yes, mind you dreams will be 'real' at the time until you become aware, or notice something odd. Although even waking life can be a bit of a 'paradox' (if I'm using the right word there?) as I have seen some bizarre, but normal, situations in real life too. Usually then, like you, I will do an RC to confirm all of this, to get into the habit, or conditioning, for when I do actually dream.
