How did Joseph know it was a real angel appearing to him in his dreams, and not just , for example, indigestion?
He msut have been spoken too a number of times before by other angels liek Mary and knowing the OT they knew that what was said to them was in line with what prophetised. They treasured everything in the heart and knowledge and guidance was growing feeding on the one previously given. Like a tree sprouting more and more branches and leaves and fruit ''btw doubt that they were rich enough to rsik the dangers of an indegestion but alas am not an historian''.

Joseph was familiar with the appearance of the angel in his dreams and knew to take this seriously as he was a man of faith.

Joseph is experienced in dreams since he once received his message of taking Mary for a wife from the dream. Joseph has faith in the God of his fathers who used dreams to communicate to his people.

The Return to Nazareth

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."
He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee, and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."

Matthew 2:19-23
