lucid dream inside a dream

[myriadwolf]

So the other night I was trying a method of lucid dreaming by waking up during my REM sleep time and then trying to get sucked into my dream when going back to sleep, and before i ever woke up in my REM sleep time, I had woken up in my dream. A dream inside a dream scenario. so when i went back to sleep in my dream (to try to lucid dream), it really worked, and i was flying around, except, it was odd. because there were other people with me, lucid dreaming. I was very aware that i was dreaming and i was having the most fun of my life and it was so beatiful outside. but then I awoke from my alarm which was to wake me during my REM sleep time. It was intense. anyone had something like this?

I have. My mind likes to have fun with me, sometimes in normal dreams it mocks my lucid dreams, saying things like take note of that gorgeous sky, and stuff like that, very funny. A lot of people have false awakenings & dreams inside dreams. Thanks for sharing your experience!

yeah that's called a false awakening. A lot of people have that happen to them. That's really good that you used a false awakening to get lucid. That's usually pretty difficult for some people to do.

I've had a similar experience... I've "woken" while still dreaming, but at the same time was aware that I was dreaming. Everything in my room was just really off and from there I decided to jump out my window and all hell broke loose from there. Not the same, but kind of. Maybe.
