Not if you are a solipsist, then you can't really prove anything outside the own existence of your own mind.

That is why for good dreams you don't want to wake up, while for bad dreams, we are very anxious to leave our subconcious state. If we take that and apply it to this life, If this were a dream state, We would know it at some point in time.

If this was a dream state, and we take your idea of good and bad dreams, then i guess i've wanted to wake up for a long time, about 6 or 7 years, it coincides with something, i just can't remember
