Is it possible to have a lucid dream in a lucid dream?

Can you go Lucid in a dream while you are already Lucid in a dream?

Inception is not real... Stop with these threads.

Dreams have almost endless possibilities, and it is possible to 'fall asleep' in a dream and have two dreams appearing to occur at the same time, although it may just be an illusion of two dreams while remaining in one. However, some members (including me) have experienced multi-consciousness, (ie. being somewhat aware of multiple dreams and/or waking life at the same time) I've seen it recorded in dream journals before. You may dub it real or fake, but many (again including myself) have experienced it first-hand.

Yeah. It's real. Real fake.

**mikeac** · 07-21-2011 03:20 AM

I'm wondering if anyone has any actual proof if it's real or not, instead of people saying 'its fake' or 'its real'.

I know MoSH has tried Inception, apparently he succeeded.

In all seriousness I have never tried, but back to what you said before about the illusion with two dreams happening at once. A lot may get confused with false awakenings and such.

Well, the first time the Inception illusion happened to me, I fell asleep within the dream, had another dream and become lucid, then I had a false awakening and lost lucidity.

Seriously its not possible if one were to fall asleep in the dream you would simply go back to the Black and would either have another dream (not inside a dream) or just wake up. That's all there is to it however the concept to actually incept a dream through shared dreaming is debatable. See waking nomads or the cusps dream journals

I would have to say yes and no.

Yes because I have had this happen to me somewhat. I have been dreaming then preformed a perfect WILD and became lucid in the dream in another dream. I have also went from having a lucid dream to a FA to having another lucid dream knowing I was still dreaming from the FA.

Remember when it comes to the mind and world nothing is impossible it is just improbable.

No.

Unless, I suppose, you're suffering from multiple-personality disorder!

This is because lucid dreaming is by definition having your singular waking awareness with you in your dream. So, Unless you've got more than one waking awareness in the waking world, you can't have more than one in a dream. You might be moving from dream experience to dream experience, and it might feel like you're constantly WILDing from one LD to another, but it's all the same LD in the end. Once you're aware, you're aware.

That said, I think you can, as mikeac said somewhere here, experience what he called multi-consciousness, but the fact that you are experiencing it and identifying them implies that there is still only one You in the dream(s), and thus just one LD.
