Have you ever had a dream within a dream?

Where you’re dreaming in rl and in your dream you wake up from a nap and think about the dream you had in your nap

This just happened to me and I’ve never had this before

I have and I even remember thinking 'oh that is just a dream', go to a different level and thinking ' oh that is also a dream', so what the heck is reality. All in the dream.

@thinkingoutloud it’s confusing for a while isn’t it.

@Jenny1234 yes. You need to train yourself to tell whether you're in a dream or not. There are a few anchors you can set for yourself to do this. Especially if it happens a lot.

A few times. I had a dream when I wasn't sure if something that I thought had happen in reality only happened in a dream (within a dream) or not.
I also think I had multiple layers of dreams and each time I realized "oh, this is still not it."

@AliceinWonderland that’s freaky!!

Raaii · 22-25, F

yes like watching a movie in a movie
It'll feel so realistic but at the end none of it exists 😿

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

@Raaii yes!

I'm not making light of this but there must be a reason horror movies usually have young girls in all sorts of scary situations - many of which happen at night and involving dream-like, nightmare-like terrors.

@SW-User Yeah... Could be.

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

@SW-User my oldest daughter had night terrors. It was scary when it started and I didn’t know what was happening

walabby · 61-69, M

A false awakening... Yes, only one, and it scared the crap out of me. I thought that all the crazy things that were happening were real, because I had just "woken up"...

Blanchy · 31-35, F

No but I find the concept really spooky, instead I had some nightmares from which I couldn't wake up. Last time that happened, I was screaming inside the dream that I was trapped in my own head and couldn't get out, it was terrifying. /=

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

@Blanchy that is definitely scary

Straylight · 31-35, F

I had a dream about waking up and telling my niece something, only to wake up from that dream to tell her about it, only to wake up from that dream to tell her about the dream within a dream, only to wake up for real.

@Straylight that's so freaking cool

I've had this several times. Have a crazy dream that wakes you up, only, you haven't woken up yet and you're in another crazy dream. That's when my brain starts telling me to actually wake up. Bizarre stuff

No but I have confronted a marauding
monster in my dream and told it “ stop chasing me this is a dream”. The monster paused for a moment, then said “no it isn’t” then continued to chase me.
