A dream within a lucid dream (!)

[vertical horizon]

Ok so on Monday I wasn’t feeling well in school because I was completely wiped out from the crazy weekend, anyways I went to the nurses office and they saw I don’t look to good and they let me lay down. Well I fell asleep and in the dream I was in that same nurses office but in a different room. As I am sitting in the nurse’s office (in the dream) I am trying to fall asleep because I am completely convinced that it is reality. Ok now for the strange/cool part. When I fall asleep in the dream i enter a completely lucid dream!!! Well now its hard to say if that’s even me, but I walk around a bit and try to find someone to talk to and I find a girl (yay) and she’s hitting on me but then I lost the lucidity and returned back to the dream and wanted to fall back asleep hoping to achieve lucidity once more. To my surprise I am lucid again (not sure what level of lucidity) well this happens like 4 more times and then the nurse (in reality) wakes my ass up and tell me i have to go to class. I had the worst sleep inertia I have ever experienced Anyways tell me what you think because I don’t know what to make of this

Ooooh!!! Kind of like a false awakening, only in reverse! Man, that was pretty cool!

hehe, I had that. It was like a week ago. a dream inside a dream... I don't know why it happens, but I was doing HILD when this happened

Wow, weird, because the same thing happened to me the other night. I became lucid, but not really. I dreamed I became lucid and the experience, I'm sure, is the same as being truly lucid. The feeling was intense and I was 100% aware of what I was doing. I too slipped back into normal dream mode, though. Alas! Hapworth

That's really cool horizon! I wonder if that can be induced... Like seeker said, it's like a false awakining in reverse. Freakin awesome! Vox P.S. Would it be possible to plan out a dream to dream? Even just a white room with a bed and you have to get some sleep? How would you go about doing that?

As I've always said- (and this might just be my opinion, mind you) you don't have a dream inside of a dream, you just dream of waking up from a dream inside of a dream, so it's really all the same dream that is about having dreams and waking up from them. I think I just confused myself.

I understand, Death Wuad. Anyway, Stephen LaBerge, or some guy he knows about, had an lucid dream that spanned about a year in the dream. He also experienced this sort of "dream in a dream" phonemon - he spent the year in a daily routine, just like real life. It's somewhere in EWLD, I haven't got the PDF file anymore though so I can't fish it out for you, sorry.
