"Je me reve" does not exist, the closest thing I can thin of is "Je me réveille", which means "I wake up".
Verbs like "se réveiller" are called reflexive verbs.
Je me réveille
Tu te réveilles
Il/Elle se réveille
Elle se réveille
Nous nous réveillons
Vous vous réveillez
Ils/Elles se réveillent

I think you meant:
Je me lève
me = reflexive pronoun ( = myself in English) but it is used much more frequently in French
this pronoun is placed before the verb
Je me lève. Je ne me lève jamais avant 6h du matin
A quelle heure te lèves-tu?

why: just because
the 'me' is called a reflexive pronoun or complement of direct object
there are verbs called pronominal verbs.
you must use a reflexive pronoun with these verbs (ie: 'me')
you also have te, se, nous, vous
examples of pronomial verbs:
je me couche / je m'endors
je me brosse les dents
je m'approche de qqn
je me rend compte / i'm aware
je m'en doute / I knew it
There's a whole ton of verbs like these.
Remember that when putting pronominal verbs in passé composé, you must use
être :
je me suis approché de lui
on s'est approché de lui
these reflexive pronouns can also be used as c.o.d (complement of direct object) or c.o.i (complement of indirect object)
examples:
je t'aime.
qui m'a volé de l'argent
il m'indique la marche à suivre
