Inception IRL

Hey DreamViews,
I haven't been on in a while. I've been super busy and haven't had much free time but this was so cool that I had to share it. Two times in the past week I've had a dream inside of a dream. Both of the secondary dreams were lucid and both of the primary dreams were non-lucid. The first time it happened it was as normal as a lucid dream can be; flying, space fish, alien fugitives, etc. The second time it was really strange. I was completely lucid, 100% aware that I was dreaming. It was weird because I had no control over the dream at all. The dreamscape was dark and eerily featureless, it was controlled by an omnipotent being. I was with friends and whatever was controlling the dream was chasing us. I was unable to manipulate anything, I finally woke myself up on the 3rd try. The being had been undermining my attempts to wake myself by getting inside my thoughts, trying to convince me it wasn't a dream. When I woke up my bed was on a train moving very fast through a dense forest, I was no longer lucid. The vividity and clarity of the colors were almost overwhelming but for some reason it made me think that it was reality and not a dream. I woke up within 15 seconds.

Dream interpretation usually isn't that hard for me but the intricacy and overall strangeness of these Inception like experiences have left me puzzled. If anyone else has had experiences like this or has questions about mine I would love to hear them.
