Awake
To dream that you are awake is a strange doubling — alertness inside sleep, the sense of being present and watchful. It often touches vigilance, the wish to see clearly and not be caught off guard. The dream tends to ask where in our waking life we need to be more truly awake than we have been.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for awake, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
WHAT'S IN A DREAM. 43 To dream that you are awake, denotes that you will experience strange happenings which will throw you into gloom.
To pass through green, growing fields, and look upon landscape, in your dreams, and feel that it is an awaking experience, signifies that there is some good and brightness in store for you, but there will be disappointments intermingled between the present and that time.
