My best guess... He was awakened.
It's not a case of either/or. They are both correct, as they are the past participles of two different verbs: 'to awaken' and 'to wake up'.
You could also say:
'He was awoken' (past participle of 'to awake');
'He was woken' (past participle of 'to wake' - without the 'up');
'He was wakened (past participle of 'to waken');
'He was wakened up' (past participle of 'to waken up').
None of them is incorrect grammar. They convey subtle distinctions of meaning, and which of them you use depends on context, preference, degree of formality required, and other criteria.

What is the correct use of woken?
Awoken most certainly is a word; it comes from the old English verb "awake" and it means woken up, or made awake. The correct usage is anywhere that it could be replaced by "woken up". 'awoken' is the passive voice form of 'awoke' (past tense of the verb 'awake'). for instance, you can say "I awoke to the sound of dogs barking" or "I was awoken by the sound of dogs barking". in modern US English, awoken is a bit archaic - normally we'd say 'awakened' instead.

No. "Dream" requires an article or possessive, and with "there" we usually say "get," not "reach." While "got woken up" is not grammatically wrong, it is considered less correct than "wakened." Write: "When you were about to get there in your dream youwere wakened" for the passive voice; or "When you were about to get there in your dream youwoke up" for the active voice.
