"being aware you are dreaming while dreaming”.

um, I do this w/o even trying.

But are you ever aware that you are aware you are dreaming when you are dreaming?

Some people do, others don’t. Supposedly you can train yourself to do it. The one time I tried to it was with a method where you routinely ask yourself if you’re dreaming. I tried it for a few weeks, got into asking myself every 10 minutes or so, then gave up when I realized that the night before I asked “Am I dreaming?”, looked around, saw a fire hydrant open up and shoot bunnies out, went “Ooh, bunnies!” and realized that with my attention span, even in dreams, it was a lost cause....

The ironic thing is that it made me remember my dreams, which I usually don’t do...hmm....

I do have lucid dreams, where I know what’s going on, and I try to make things work to my advantage. It always goes pear-shaped and I end up trying to not be killed by the new inquisition, the fires of hell, or people I’ve worked with in the past 20 years.

But are you ever aware that you are aware you are dreaming when you are dreaming?

Yeah, all the time.  I never realized I was special.  I’m special.

I like toothpaste.
