Thread: A Lucid Dream Within A Lucid Dream

Ive had some of these, but I put it down to just forgetting your lucid /false awakening.

To dream within a dream is redundant, would it not just be a change in scene/false awakening?

Nope, in both dreams, it wasn't a change in scenery or false awakening or anything like that.

I should clarify something that I just realized. In my last "dream of a dream", I was only lucid in the dream I had while dreaming.

For example, the last dream I had like this went something like this: I was dreaming a passive yet lucid dream. Something disturbing happened in the dream that I can't recall now. So I made myself wake up. (I didn't "wake up" in real life or anything, though - I was still technically dreaming). Then some other things happened, and I suddenly woke up in real life and realized that THAT had also been a dream.

It's so extremely hard to describe now because I have forgotten most of the events of the dreams. But I do recall vividly waking up in the dreams, then waking up again afterwards in real life.

Isnt that a false awakening, I think ive done the same thing your describing.

But isnt it still a false awakening/change in scene. You made your self wake up, but you just ended up in a another dream scene?

Once, I was dreaming, and in my dream I went to sleep on a couch, and had a WILD

so it was technically not a WILD, it was a DILD. Maybe it was a DIWILD!

when I became lucid though, it was the most intensely vivid lucid I've had, I actually thought I was probably kicking my sheets as I ran.

I once dreamed that a whole forum board of people were at my house, and the admin was my mom Some of my friends whom I had never seen in real life were walking around the house and laughing, while my "mom" said I had to go to sleep. I told her I was going to lucid dream, and as I went to sleep I became lucid.

Although, I was still awake in the dream, I basically split into two different states at once! I kind of realized that I was in a dream at that point, but I lost focus and just went a long with the dream.

I gotta agree with Serpent, it looks like a false awakening, which for some may be a change of scene, you lost lucidity when you had that false awakening, that's pretty common.

A way to prevent this in the future is to do a reality check as soon as you wake up.

That sounds like a false awakening.

I have been in lucid dreams before where I thought it would be a good idea to lay down and try to sleep. Sometimes it sends me into another lucid in a completely different scenario. Sometimes I just wake up for real.
