An avenue for the mind

A strange dream

Some days ago I had a curious dream. I dreamt I was in my Chinese class; my teacher and partners were making some criticisms to me (don't remember about what), but they all were speaking in a non-sensic way resembling Mandarin Chinese. I felt a little uneasy, but no so much as to not listen quietly. Then, when it was my turn to say something, a striking idea came to my mind: I realized all of the people I was seeing were my creations, produced by my own imagination. I told them so, this time in (actual) Spanish.

I'm very surprised I've reached such a level of self-consciousness in the middle of a dream. Have you ever had an experience like that? I don't know how can it be possible, or whether this self-awareness is just illusory, a mere copy of an authentic state of self-awareness.
