So I think that the name for a dream within a dream is meta-dreams. If not, thats the name for it I've used in this post

My question is, if you're dreaming already and think its reality, "fall asleep" in the dream then realise THATS a dream. Are you actually lucid?

It's happened to me quite a few times, wether it be from a false awakening where I try to WILD, or just fall asleep in a dream, enter another dream scene and realise I'm dreaming that.

I originally thought that maybe I'd have less control over these, as I still dont know that the starting point for them wasn't reality. But now I dont know. Does the route you take to lucidity really matter? The point is that you know you're in a dream, so you have control over it.

Can you even really dream within a dream, or do you "fall asleep" (close your eyes) and your body thinks you're in a dream - but in "reality" you've actually just changed dream scenes?

anyways, lots of questions, not much content
