Lucid dream in a lucid dream and more?

[Saurfang]

Hey guys, I'm wondering is it possible to have a lucid dream in a lucid dream? Theorically it's possible, but what about practic? Has anybody ever achieved this kind of dream? As far as I know, closing your eyes and opening them back again causes you to wake up. And to dream you have to close your eyes.. What do you think?

You can enter a false awakening (new dream) if you're lucid and the dream ends - this usually happens if you're very certain that you're about to wake up. The dream will play on your expectations and attempt to recreate it, hence making a new dream with you being back in your bed. It's not possible to actually enter another dream, as in levels from Inception, but it can seem like you have. False awakenings are easy to catch if you practice awareness and RC every time you go to bed and wake up, including during WBTBs. But usually you don't keep your lucidity straight through from one dream to another; you might really believe you've woken up for a few instances, then become lucid after that.

I haven't really seen Inception, but I suppose I really should.. Nice explanation Puffin, thanks.

No problem. There's a few different misconceptions about LDing that have arisen because of Inception, but it's a great movie! Definitely one to pick up sometime.
