Ha ha, I've had maybe two dreams in my life that I've realized and understood completely that I was dreaming. The first was when I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. I was sitting inside the cabin of a tractor-trailer in a junkyard. Oddly enough, the inside of the tractor-trailer was huge, enough for about 10 people to sit inside comfortably. After talking to the people in the cabin, I all of a sudden had an "epiphany" in my dream. I realized that I was dreaming, and that none of these people were real.
I looked at the person I was talking to, and I said, "You're not going to believe this, but you're not real. I'm dreaming, and nothing you say means anything." The man I was talking to looked at me really weirdly, and gave the person beside him a concerned look. I told everyone in the cabin that they weren't real, and that in a few minutes I was going to wake up and they would all disappear. They got really angry at me, and told me I was being mean. Hey, it wasn't my fault! Ha ha. I tried to explain to them why they didn't exist, but of course it didn't make any sense to them.
When I decided to wake up, I reminded them again: "Ok, I'm going to wake up now." They just stared at me really, really creepily the last time I told them that. That instant, I woke up and remembered the entire ordeal.
No one really believes me when I tell them of this dream, but I know it happened. It was pretty interesting, if not a bit on the creepy side.
