      Dream WITHIN A Dream WITHIN A Dream?

      Alright, so last night, I had my first-ish Lucid (I say first-ish, because this was my first one where I actually attained full lucidity for a protracted amount of time), and something really trippy happened.... two false awakenings.

      It was extremely strange. Inception-ish to tell you the truth. I was in my lucid... actually... in Hanoi (from CoD: Black Ops), and I woke up in my bed. I went over to the computer (at this point I was not lucid), checked my emails, went on Facebook, but on facebook all my friends were people I didn't know. At that point I was like... huh. Interesting. Then I went downstairs and on my way down I tripped - when I landed the entire dream shattered (like glass, literally), and I woke up again. With another False awakening.

      Has this ever happened to anyone else?

      I think my max was about 12 FAs in a row, all of which I got lucid from. Though there may have been a DEILD in there somewhere.

      My largest FA chain was only 4 (the last two being DILDs), but it was pretty trippy.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      Oh yeah, I chain FAs all the time. They're very frustrating. I think my record's about...8?

      A good mentality to drill into your subconscious is, "If I wake up, assume I'm not really awake, until there is reason to believe otherwise." Perhaps it seems overly simplified, but it's worked wonders for me. I used to have chained false awakenings like that nightly, and I NEVER realized that they were dreams, until they were over. That is, of course, until I trained myself to assume by default that every time I wake up, I must be dreaming still.

      And surprisingly, I'd say 90% of the times that I "wake up" in the middle of the night, they turn out to be false awakenings. But I'll literally go through the motions of thorough RC's EVERY time, and I always used different RCs. Nowadays, I don't really need to actually do the RC's to know that I'm dreaming, but just for false awakenings, I always go through the full motions, because they are VERY deceiving!

      I've only had 1 false awakening inside a dream. And I've had a dream inside a dream once (literally) It was awesome.

      This is just a False Awakening really...not a dream within a dream. I don't consider something a dream within a dream unless you go to sleep in the dream, have another dream, and then wake from that dream back into the first dream (rather than just waking up completely). That's my definition at least.

      Yes this is how I would define it too. A False Awakening is just that, a false awakening.
      Dream within a dream is really cool though. I wonder if you manually can go to sleep inside your LD and wake up in another dream.. Hmm. Mindfuck.

      I've gone to sleep in a LD and found myself in another dream. Is that what you mean by manually? Er...?

      Haha yes. Sorry for my poor english.
      When you purposely go to bed in an LD and wake up in another dream. I've done this myself as well
