I agree. I think there is a complete difference from when you are asleep to when you are awake and determining your current state. The difference being, that when you are awake, it is very easy to tell if you are awake. On the other hand, when you are dreaming, it is very difficult to dismiss completely irrelevant and strange things as being not real.

"Whether you think you can do it, or you think you can't, you're right." is an awesome way to think of things!
