Oculus rift has dead pixels?

Yes, 10 dead pixels is too much. Please contact support with a photo of the issue.

how am I suppose to take a photo of a dead pixel? The only way I noticed it was when it got really dark in minecrift (minecraft VR mod) and I could barely notice it (yet I counted about 10 - 14 pixels.

Open Paint and make a full-screen black image. Take off the eye-cups from the Rift. Put your camera up to it and take a photo. Many people have done this before so I know it's possible.

my camera doesn't pick it up (Because its a 360p camera) -.-

Have you tried wiping the screen with a microfiber cloth or using a compressed air can? Sometimes there can be dust on the screen that looks like dead pixels.

I wipe the glass lenses everytime I use the rift. i don't think its dust (because its brand new) I just got my rift literally 2 days ago.

There could still be some dust. The casing isn't airtight.

If I focus hard enough, I can see individual subpixels. In a dead pixel one or more individual subpixels won't work. If it's a dust, it's likely to only partially cover subpixels, so you would still see it's working, but yielding less luminance thus having nearly black appearance. Dust may also appear as faint "subpixels" against black background - you can tell them from real subpixes by their shape. If "dead pixels" are clustered one right next to each other, it's also likely a dust. Try using microfiber cloth and compressed air.

I don't really see them in less I focus on them, and I can tell they're dead pixels because when I have minecraft open (you can see a blue dot where the pixels are) "my desktop" I know its not dust because I've already cleaned out my oculus rift (plus i've only had it for about 2 days.)

So this individual blue (I assume) subpixel, the middle of the three, just stuck in maxed out position? As the definition implies, it's a stuck pixel, it's very likely to be completely functional, just "stuck". LCD Stuck Pixel Fixer video could help. But yet again, if it's rather than narrow vertical strip perfectly aligned with the screendoor, just a dot, or if it's otherwisely shaped, it's very likely just a dust. Microfiber doesn't always help, too.

I have some bunch of dust specks on my Rift screen, at some point I wanted to disassemble it to clean it out, but I just don't pay any attention to them when I'm actually playing.

I was talking about dust on the screen, not the lenses. You have to take the lenses out to clean the screen.
