Dreaming of being awake while everyone is sleeping means you are now more aware of your surroundings by exploring places that were once off limits. You move faster than the sleepers and you attain knowledge quicker than the peers dozing off.
It can symbolize a change in perspective and awareness, such as when we suddenly understand something. Being awake in a dream can signify the desire for the spiritual to overtake the material.
It is possible that it could be a precursor to an impending spiritual experience or realization, such as an enlightenment type experience.
Your next level of achievement is near as you remain awake in your duties and responsibilities.
