      Doubly false awakening

      Hiya all
      First let me introduce myself, my name is Kyriakos and I am from Greece, and I just joined the forum, because i found the things i learned here extremely interesting. I am a newbie lucid dreamer, but, affected by what I had been reading here, I recently had this experience that I wanted to share and hear some opinions on. It is a little bit complicated but i'll try to explain as good as i can.
      So here goes:

      I am dreaming that I am a member of some special forces team, and we are being trained for an imminent war situation. During the training several things that i clearly remember occur, though I find them unrelated so i'll try to omit the details. Point is, I have no clue that i am dreaming until this point. So the training stops and I am heading to the banker with the trainee's beds.
      At that point the perspective changes and I start to see the dream through a different angle, I am thinking that it reminds me of something and I soon realize, while dreaming, that I am seeing things happening through the interface of a pc game I have been recently playing (obviously too much! ) in my real life.
      In a few words, the game's called City of Heroes, and it is an mmo rpg game, in which you are a super hero that gradually becomes greater and gains more powers and stuff..
      So here I am watching myself through the game's interface, me being the super hero, clicking on my bed so as to go to sleep(yeah, it sounds ridiculous but it gets worse ) but still having no clue that i am dreaming.
      Then i wake up -still through this interface-, and head to the training room to get on with the training. On my way there I press 'space bar' and jump, then I press 'space bar' twice and I find myself flying! While enjoying the flight (and without finding my being a superhero and all strange and unnatural), I am thinking that 'flight' is a super power that I haven't gained in the game in my real life (which is true), and I find this kinda strange. At the same time I remember that the bed that I woke up in was different than the one I had clicked on to go to sleep. Adding those up, and considering what i had read on dreamviews.com about dream signs, I am starting to think that I am in a dream, and while the suspition gets stronger I drop down and die. Next thing, I wake up in the right bed, I get up, and I head to the training room, thinking that I am in the real life and i just had a false awakening.
      Next thing, I wake in the real life


      So in a way there were 3 layers of 'reality'. The real life, the dream I had, and the dream that I could fly that I had in my dream. And what I experienced was lucid dreaming, but only for seconds, and not in the first dream, but in my dream's dream, while thinking that the first dream is the real life.

      I don't know if any of you has experienced something like this, or if it is nothing really unique but i found it really interesting and i'd like to hear some opinions on it..

      Try to see past the details of the dreams, as those are subjective and will possibly make no sense to some of you, and stick to the 3 layers thing...

      Thanks, and nice to meet'ya all

      Multiple false awakenings? (FAs) Those are the best to get lucid by, because you have multiple chances. Next time when you wake up make sure it isn't a dream!

      Oh, and congrats on your lucid dream. They'll come easier now.
