Knowing I am dreaming because Ive had the dream i am dreaming before

[nmn447]

I wasnt sure where to post this so i decided to post it here. Ive had this happen quite a few times where while i was dreaming i remembered that ive had this dream so then i am able to react a different way to what is happening like to be avoided by kidnappers or something and this has happened quite a few ties with different dreams. I Barely ever the same one. What is happening or what is this type of dreaming technically called?

It's not really a technique other than DILD. Although it's a smart way of becoming lucid.

Déjà vu dreams? Or that it may be dreaming element in your dreams that you see often and could be a trigger to become somewhat of a dream sign. <-click here. btw welcome to DV forum

I had a dream where i though i forgot to do something, but then remembered a "dream" where i had actually did it, and when i realized that i hadn't really done it, I was like, "Oh yeah, that was just a dream..." Didn't become lucid though...
