Thread: DC Pulling Me Into Lucidity + Dreams Within Dreams

The info (or dreamscape) exists, in the background, and can be drawn back up once the lower dream ends. Or maybe a form of short-term multiple personality syndrome? I know it sounds weird, but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and my mind is rushing, and I can hear other voices in my head, which I can even have mental conversations with! (I don't have real MPD just to be clear, they disappear when I'm awake).

Just thinking out loud here.
