I have "woken up" in a dream a few times.  I remember one I dreamt I woke up in
my room, the sky outside was a deep, deep dark blue and I could see some
distance, stars with clarity, the outside view was different.  It occured to me
later that this wasn't my room, it wasn't right, and I must still be dreaming.

I've also had a few or several cases where I've realised in the dream that I'm
dreaming, but instead of waking up, I've kept dreaming.  This is known as Lucid
Dreaming and it is having a state of semi-awareness in the dream.  You can do
what you like in the dream world (which can be fun, though flying is hard), but
I tend to wake up too quickly to really get absorbed.
