Ah - thank you for explaining. Now I understand. And I also understand your being afraid after that terrifying experience you described in your 1st post above. Anyone would be scared after that!!

By any chance have you seen Inception? A lot of people have learned some very wrong things from that movie. It deals with lucid dreaming - in a way, but it's also just a fictional movie and it takes great liberties with the truth. There's no such thing as a dream within a dream, and there's no way to ever be trapped within a dream.

Heh - that movie was the introduction to lucid dreaming for a lot of people, which is a good thing, but then when they do an internet search and start discovering that lucid dreaming is real, unfortunately they begin to think these horrible things from the movie are also real. We have to talk a lot of them down from this.
