I had a dream where i was with some of my family and we were going to have a shared lucid dream. I was introducing lucid dreaming to everyone and they agreed to dream with me. So we all lied down in beds which looked like they were all electronically hooked up to each other and went to sleep. then it was all of us in a city-like alley and i knew i was dreaming i told everyone to do a reality check and i did one too and i tried to explain to them about opening a door and imagining something else on the other side. I was trying to summon a dojo type place so we could fight for fun but every time i opened the door there was a different location behind it, i told them i was new at this.
So anyway, i thought this was something really interesting to point out because in my dream within a dream i was lucid and even did a RC but i wasn't really lucid because i thought the dream world (where we all lied down on beds and LDed) was the real world.
That is so unfair, i was still victim to the dream because i didn't become lucid in both layers of dreams. its like the original dream was still (lucidly) controlling the second dream and not me controlling all dreams... Thoughts? Has this happened to anyone else?
