      Dreams within dreams...

      I'm sure plenty of you here have had dreams within dreams; but have any of you had a dream within a dream, and then wake up back in the old dream? This happened to me a few months ago, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience... let me explain why.

      The dream was very unusual. For me at least. Unusual for me, means a dream about normal social things, and not alien invasions, or zombie apocalypses, etc. My dream was of regular life, which never EVER happens to me... and it gets stranger. The dream was INCREDIBLY long. It ended up being 15 days long.

      Don't tell me the whole spiel about how sometimes you see a sundown and assume you experienced a day in a dream, or that sometimes you think you dreamed about a long span of time because you skip around in time... no. This dream REALLY WAS 15 days long. Upon awaking, and for days onward, I remembered the dream as if it was a WL experience. Just as clear. Just as dense of memories. I know it was 15 days, not just because of sunsets, and sunrises; but because I remember 15 days worth of events.

      In the dream I would have a normal day, and then go to sleep, have normal dreams INSIDE the dream, and then wake up back in the same dream. It was EXTREMELY odd. I even vividly remember spending hours trying to go to sleep (which is normal for me). I remember everything you would remember in a 15 day span. It was incredible.

      The best part is, I actually grew as a person inside the dream, and when I woke up, it stuck with me. Inside the dream, a friend of mine was pranking me for a few days in retaliation for a prank I did to him. The very last prank he did to me, on the 10th day, was dumping a tote full of spiders on me as soon as I woke up one day.

      Before this dream, I had a slight phobia of spiders... but over the course of the next 5 days in the dream, every time I would try and fall asleep, I would have to deal with what spiders I hadn't caught yet crawling over me. In those 5 days, I learned not to mind spiders... I had to in order to get some rest.

      When I woke up, this phobia was gone for good. Cool, or what?

      Has anything like this every happened to anyone else before?

      Wow, nothing like that has ever happened to me. This sounds like somewhat of a supernatural experience. The fact that it was 15 days long; it's almost as if you had a second life and were living it. Like an alternate universe. Very interesting. The only thing that I have experienced slightly similar is dreams within dreams and they are always about having to go to the bathroom and pee.lol I wake up thinking I'm waking up from my bed to go to the bathroom only to realize it was a dream, go back to sleep and wake up again realizing I never went to the bathroom. It's weird. What you're saying is pretty cool. Keep us updated!

      I am actually quite intrested in this, while nothing to that extent has happened to me, i have had a somewhat related dream. Once, i had a dream that in the dreaming state, i had experience a week of events. I totally back you on, this is a possible, and somewhat realistic occurance, and i enjoyed while I had mine.

      I have dreamt that we had visitors over, I decided to go sleep anyways because I wasn't Lucid and had no control at all.
      I then had a dream within a dream and became Lucid. I then did a whole bunch of summoning mostly spoons and forks for some reason and then woke back up to the dream that I was in before. I lost my Lucidity again. And after a couple of minutes I woke up.
      I don't know why it happens but it felt pretty weird.

      Ahh, a woderful experience indeed. I have always wanted to spend an extre week in my dreams studying for an exam I have in the morning to see if it is possible that the knowledge would carry over into waking life. Take A LOAD off of my shoulders in WL, for sure. However, not the most eventful thing to do whilst lucid dreaming

      It's exactly like that! Especially since in real life I don't have an apartment, and the roommates were made up people, and for some reason I had all these memories of the made up people. As if I had known them for years. Very strange.

      I think the dream would have lasted a lot longer if not for when the 15th day came and I finally realized I've been dreaming, became lucid, and woke up due to being lucid.
