Yeah, it does seem a little crazy to keep asking yourself that when you know your awake. The exact reason behind this concept is that we dream about evens that happen in our daily lives. So if we condition the mind to constantly ask, "Am I dreaming or am I awake?", then soon enough our dream experiences should theoretically include the now-common action of questioning whether we are awake or not.
