Holy Crap! Has anyone else ever had a dream within a dream? |

I was sleeping off my headache, and I swear I had the weirdest dream! I dreamed that I was actually dreaming about another thing entirely.
Really freaking weird...

2. Yeah, once maybe twice |
|
I specifically remember one time I woke up from a dream, and then said (or thought) "This is a dream, too." and then woke up.
The worst is when I hit the alarm and then dream that I get up, take a shower, drive to work, ect. I've ran late before, because I thought I was actually up on the way to work.

..really annoying! I remember the first time I had one of those dreams. I knew I had to get up for work; but i guess my body was just too tired. I really wanted to get up but my body didn't. So I guess it decided to make me THINK I was up. Thing is it happened 3 times that morning. With me realising I was really dreaming each time before I really woke up.
Annoying I tell you! :)

4. I had a freaky scary one when I was a kid |
|
I was dreaming I was walking from room to room in my house, and in every room, there was a different kind of torture device, and they all looked freshly used.... and every time I saw one, I 'woke up', or thought I had, only to end up in a different room, with a different device.
This happened five times. In the same dream. I was terrified when I finally woke up for real; it took me several minutes of just lying there awake before I could move. I wasn't sleep-paralyzed; I was terrified into immobility.
That only happened that one time, thank God. I never want to repeat that, especially as an adult. Too many things to fear I know are real...

Are you alleging that you had a dream in which you dreamed you were dreaming something else?
I don't believe you.

I was dreaming that I was asleep in my childhood bedroom and then I was dreaming that something horrible had happened to a family member. I could not wake up and it was scary as hell.

But you did not dream that you were asleep in your childhood bedroom dreaming that something had happened to a family member!
BTW, when you dream that something bad happened to somebody, that means that you miss them, and love them.

I'll let you know when your assessment matters to me, though.

11. I call them "Nested Dreams" |
|
May happen more often than we realize, but they are hard to remember.

17. Everytime I sleep. It's getting to where I'm afraid to go to bed. |
|
My dreams are always all over the place and they are always a dream within in a dream. I had a dream the other night that a guy was leaning over me on my right side, I was very short or young, and he had on this long trench coat. He was saying, "I can't take it anymore, I have to talk to Goldberg!." Another person, a woman, was leaning over me to the right. They started to squeeze me together and I thought I had woken up and was in my bedroom yelling for help. Suddenly everything gets white and hazy and I can barely see this figure in front of me and he is shaped like an ant. Only standing vertical and about my height. I can see this ant head slowly turning to the right. He had me frozen in place. NIGHT TERROR! I woke up shaking.
The very next day I watched a movie called "Pi". If anyone here has seen it, they might see some precognition working there. heh I do that all the time. Dream something, and then the next day see it on the television. Worthless, but weird.

18. Your scenario does not describe a dream within a dream. |
|
You describe only one dream.

21. Oh. Ok. I see what you mean. Not in this particular dream. But I have in |
|
others if I'm understanding the dream within a dream thing you are talking about. I was just still freaked out about this particular dream and I thought I'd mouth off about it. Sorry. heh
Yes, I have had dreams where I thought I had awakened, gone back to sleep in the dream and started dreaming something else. Is that what you meant? Maybe it isn't. My point was only that my dreams can be just about anything you can imagine. They wear me out.

I find them rather fascinating.
Another natural lucid dreamer here...and when I'm not lucid dreaming, then I have these incredibly complex dreams with interesting storylines and such interesting characters. I have a couple of friends who are playwrights who are envious of those dreams...all the detail in them.
Too bad my waking life isn't as interesting as my dream one...:shrug:
