Is it possible for someone to wake up multiple times in a single dream?
Some years back, I had a weird dream where I was sleeping and suddenly I woke up for no exact reason, but with an extreme feeling of paranoia. I remember that I rushed to parent's room and found nothing there, just the empty beds. After that, I woke up again, to find myself stepping out bed trying to get out of the room, but as if the time slowed down, with my vision blurred. Then, I really woke up, very dizzy and scared as shit, shaking and sweating. What the fuck do you think that was?

Had a really really really intense dream growing up.
> go to sleep living with grandma around age 6-8
> in dream wake up in grandmas car.
> at a pool hall/bar
> look over and dead grand dad in driver set
> go in and sit down with him.
> see fires outside and bar is really dark
> grand dad finally looks over at me and says "it isn't so bad down her bud"
>he had a poodle when he was alive and he's petting it furiously in my dream now looking at me
> here a voice from the bar
>"you here that boy, he says its not to bad down here."
> can only see his eyes.
> intensely fearful out of nowhere
> wake up in bed.
> everything is fine right
> nope
> bedroom door is closed. Its never closed I'm fucking 6
> here a odd scratching noise.
> cat must be in here
> go to look at edge of bed where noise came from.
> noise stops as soon as I move.
> realize moving was a bad decision
> do the kid thing and hide under blanket
> hear and feel blanket moving c
> something grabs my leg and I can see its eyes as it drags me off the bed
> wake up for real this time.
> literally shit myself.
Scariest dream in my entire life. Only had couple more dreams on par with this.
Yes. When I was still a kid and pure at heart, I would have 2-3 phases within one dream.
I can visually remember each phase now actually. Also I used to know how to go back to the same "realm." Here is a quick cool dream phase I would have at will.
There used to be this machine in my dream that I went to. This machine would enable me to go to different zones in my dream. This machine used to be randomly set in my dream. It had orange font with a brown background. I can't remember the words though.
Also I used to slow-mo jump in the air to warp into a different "dream."
Though I think you're talking about this concept I'm about to type. I used to wake up inside my dream only to be in another dream. I could do this once or twice not at will.
All of this used to happen from like 94-97.

Yeha, I went to bed 3 times in a dream a while back. Each time, it had a weirder abstraction, all I remember of the 3rd one was just squiggles and lines.
