Thread: Dream inside a dream, perhaps a lucid dream :)

Hello,

I have been now familiar with the term "lucid dreaming" like 10 days. I read the first manuals and decided to start trying harder to recall the dreams, keeping dream journal and do the reality checks. I thought reading the techniques to actual lucid dreaming after some time, because there was just too much information. I did the reality checks with my analog watch, not regularly but when I remembered. As well sometimes just with simple everyday life items (switching on lights, ...).

Today I think I had a lucid dream but I am not sure if its actual because it was a dream inside my dream. I woke up many times during the night because I needed to go to the toilet (the natural way to wake up ). The first half of the night I slept badly and I do not have any memory or feeling that I dreamed at all. Somewhere on the 6th hour of the night I woke up and had a clear dream about random things I put on the light and wrote it into my dream journal, went to a toilet and fell a sleep again thinking a bit about lucid dreaming. In truth I was thinking about the rooster behind my window who did not stop "screaming" and I was wondering if I could use it as giving signals in my dreams: something like "when you hear the rooster but the scenery is not normal then you are dreaming".
Anyway, in the end there was no rooster in my dream but I suddenly remembered about reality checks and I did it in my dream and REALLY the time changed randomly and realized I was dreaming . I have a red analog watch and it was there with me in my dream and every time I checked it the time changed completely. Though sometimes the watch was not there, but I looked again and then it had appeared. I could not change the scenario in my dream but I knew I was dreaming and I had the security that I can do what ever I want now. I wanted to go to my current work office but I could not. I tried to close my eyes and imagine it but it never came. I was going with the flow and doing things in between which I would not do in normal life.
After that lucid "dream" I had (or I remember) another scene with a different story but I am not sure if I was lucid in there.
Then I woke up and was happily telling to my boyfriend about my lucid dream. Also some other random scenes appeared and after that I woke up completely and realized that I had a dream inside a dream. Now I am not sure if it was actual lucid dream. I did realize I had a dream and I could do funny things but I could not jump from one scene to another.
