Thread: I keep having lucid dreams within another dream

It sounds like you're actually having non-lucid dreams ABOUT lucid dreaming. You said they aren't very vivid, which makes me suspect they aren't actually lucid. It's very common to dream about things you think about a lot - if you're really into baseball for instance, or if you recently saw a movie you really love and think about a lot you might dream about those things. In the same way, if you're excited about lucid dreaming you can dream about it, without becoming actually lucid. It seems like you're dreaming about the whole process - the whole act of falling asleep, becoming lucid, and then waking up.

Of course not being vivid doesn't mean the dreams aren't lucid necessarily, but the whole way you describe them just seems to be at a distance, as if they didn't feel immediate and visceral. Nothing you wrote makes it sound like you really experienced that sudden rush of excitement that accompanies real lucidity (especially the first few times).

This is a pretty accurate description, but I actually do get exited when I do my reality check (Plug nose and breath). Like I have to calm myself down but I don't fully REALIZE that I am dreaming...
