Thread: Inception? I keep dreaming about Lucid Dreaming

Hi, for the past 3 nights I've been dreaming about Lucid dreaming. I would already be in a dream, unaware that I was dreaming, and then I would fall asleep inside of the dream and start lucid dreaming. I did a reality check, I looked at my hands and I issued a verbal command: "Clarity now!" The crazy thing is, after a little bit, I "woke up" from this lucid dream back into my initial dream world without realizing that I was already in a dream in the first place. And this is funny because this initial dreamscape in which I don't realize I'm dreaming is totally nonsensical. And I don't realize it at all!! Even after reality checking and gaining some capacity to remember things about what I did last inside the "lucid dream."

This has happened to me already for 3 nights in a row, where I'd be dreaming about trying to fall asleep and lucid dream and I'd achieve I guess a sort of pseudolucidity?? My question is, has something like this ever happened to you guys before, and can you count my "lucid dreams" as truly being lucid? Because I was aware that I was dreaming without realizing that the place I initially came from was already a dream? Except, I still had dream control inside the "lucid"... Ah! So weird!!


Could it be because of my MILD mantra? It's "I will lucid dream tonight." Because I'm repeating that over and over before I fall asleep do I literally just dream about lucid dreaming instead of directly becoming lucid because of that?
