Perhaps u are dreaming that u are typing an answer.
Perhaps we are in a matrix and there is an evil genius contolling us. How do u know? Proof?

I don't know whether or not I'm in a dream right now. I stopped trying to figure it out a long time ago and so just go with the flow.
Or I know I'm not in a dream right now because if I was in a dream I'd be happily married to Carmen Elektra.

Well there are 3 things
1) is that you do know the diff between a dream and a when youre awake bec. you have the conscious mind working.
2) Lets say it is a dream, who cares this where youre stuck and this what yuo have to work with.
3) If you study reality , say real philo. or physics, youll see the great wisodm in the world and it will be clear to you how real everything is

Strangely enough, i feel like being serious in answering that.
The fundamental problem about that is that if we are in a dream somebody is dreaming about us and that somebody really exists.
The theory of the dream doesn't clarify any of the existential problems only moves them to another person (the dreamer).
Thus for us is all the same.
The only problem is that the dream theory is bullshit.

Even if you claim a knowledge, how do you know that your knowledge that you are not in a dream is not devoid of dream?
The only proof is that when I post this answer, if it appears and others can read it... you are producing results that others probably can verify.

Because it is 4 am and I am tired as he-ll and I know that when I lay down I will sleep instantly and dream then and wake up and know when I dreamed and when I was awake...
No one is controlling us... and even if they are... sit back and enjoy the ride... ;)

It seems like a compelling question . . . but if you take the question to its logical conclusion the absurdity of it becomes clear . . . what if I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming? Or, what if I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming . . . Get the point? I hope so, because other than that, there isn't one!!! . . .

Why would they not breed us to be vegetables then? Wouldn't need to control us, just sit in a comatose state drooling.
