A lucid dream inside a dream!

**ld411** · 08-11-2009 09:50 PM

This morning I was dreaming that I was with my friends and we were sitting in my room. In my dream I fell asleep and had a lucid dream within that dream. I forgot what its called but it was a pretty cool experience. When I woke up from that lucid dream, I was still in my dream but didn't realize it. But the weird thing is that when the lucid dream started to fade away, I couldn't see anything. I could only touch the things in my lucid dream. And then when I tried to open my eyes they wouldn't open! I started to freak out! But both of the dreams finally ended and this was the first time I had a lucid dream within another dream. It was actually more vivid then my past lucid dreams, don't know if that has something to do with it.

That's mind bending. When you were lucid in your dream, did you realize the previous events were a dream, also? Or did you not figure it out until you finally woke up completely?

Yea I know sorry if it sounds confusing, it really is hard to explain. I went to sleep in a dream and within that dream I was lucid, but I didn't know that all the previous events were a dream. When I woke up from my lucid dream, I wasn't actually awake because I woke up in the previous normal dream I was having. I didn't know I was dreaming in this one. Then I woke up COMPLETELY, no more dreams

. Yea sorry if that sounds confusing.

Well i had a similar dream but I wouldn't call it lucid.

I have dreamed that someone gave me injection and i entered a dream and i called my friend ( dc ) to enter a dream and he entered that dream too ( the dream in the dream ) . It was very strange...

I had a similar experience. I was trying to WILD and i had a false awakening. I thought i had woken up for real though so i wasn't lucid. Its funny i didn't think anything was strange, because i woke up on the opposite side of my room in my old bunk bed. During this false awakening i decided to try WILD again. Within a few moments I was in another dream. After seeing something suspicious i knew i was dreaming and was now lucid. I didn't realize what had happened until I woke up for real. At least now i know that dream induction techniques work inside of dreams lol.

I've actually had a dreams within dreams a few times. I vaguely remember some of the dreams within dreams being lucid. Every time I have a dream within a dream, I have a FA, then I say, "Wow. What a strange dream I just had." Then, I go about my daily business, and I think it's waking life. Every time I have one of these FA's everything is so mundane and normal I have no idea I am dreaming.

That is absolutely brilliant and not confusing at all! What a cool dream.

I've had a few similar crazy experiences. I've WILDed within a dream too, like FortressForever has and it was just brilliant. It's so comical when you eventually wake up and realise that you were asleep the whole time.

Another common thing I've heard about lucid dreamers doing and which I've done myself is to actually be nonlucid in a dream and start imagining and acting out what you'd do if it was a dream but without actually realising it's a dream. Hilarious!

Great thread, ld411. I love hearing about other dreamers' unusual dream experiences

Heck. It's happened. I hate it.
