That's the thing about ignorance. You don't know you are until you aren't. I know people that are fast asleep and they will swear to you they are awake. I fall asleep myself. I promise myself I will stay in the moment and out of thought (which is akin to sleep) and then 15 minutes have passed whereupon I was deep in thought over just nonsense stuff. However the awareness comes much more now to wake me out of my sleep (thinking). It used to come only every couple of months, then every couple of weeks and then every couple of hours and now every 15 -20 mins I check myself and realize I have lost the moment (reality) for thoughts (dreaming). All we can do is respond to that awareness and stay vigilant in the moment. The light within which we call Awareness calls us home.
