Or false awakenings if you will. Basically dreams within dreams.
Share you experiences guys. How many times did you have a false awakening?
How did you realise you were still dreaming? How did you feel when you finally woke up for real?
I had this happen to me once in my life and it happened after i watched the movie inception. I had a false awakening 7 times. The first 4 times i didnt get out of bed, i just instantly hoped into another dream. But when the 5th dream became fucked up and i ended up paralyzed on the bottom of the ocean i decided thats enough dreaming for one day and i got out of bed, only to realise 10 minutes later that im still sleeping, because i became paralyzed again. Shook by my new experience i decided to go tell my parents what just happened and once again after around 10 minutes i became paralyzed again and realised i was still dreaming.
Honestly the most fucked up part about these dreams is that i was 100% sure that i was awake.
One time when I was a kid my dad told me to get up and get ready for school and so I put on all my clothes and got ready and waited by the door but then I was woken up by my dad telling me to get ready for school and I felt as if I had been fucking ripped off

That sucks.
When I was like 14 I remember going in three levels deep. As in, during the dream I woke up twice, and then woke up once more to get to real life
Like a month ago I became lucid in the second level. While I felt I was lucid, i really wasn't. The first level dream self became lucid on the second level aka first level dreamer gained control of the second level.
Trippy shit happens when you remember 2-5 dreams every night.

That ain't shit. During one instance, I actually lost count how many consecutive false awakenings I had, but I'd estimate around 20 or so. What happened basically, was that I stuck in sleep paralysis one night and I tried to break free and get out of bed. But as I mentioned, it took many, many attempts to actually get out of bed for real. I kept having dreams/hallucinations of me getting out of bed only to find myself back in bed a minute or two later. The scary part was that each time felt as real as the next one.

Yeah its neat, something not a lot of people can experience. I've been about 5 deep, but that was an exception. 2-3 deep is pretty common for me.
Usually, it happens when I am having a decent lucid dream that turns bad (not the right word.. turns dark/evil/malevolent? you guys will understand) then it's usually a lucid fight through levels to 'escape'. My most recent dream, I remember submerging/drowning myself (very effective for exiting if you are lucid), woke into a new dream with memory of the previous one. Still lucid and aware of malevolence, I carved a circle into a concrete floor with something like a knife. I jumped on the circle and said something (OUT or RELEASE) fell through it like a portal, felt like I had jumped into cold water and woke up.
I was pretty happy, I can't always get out. When things turn dark and quiet, it's always bad news, to the point where I have to get my gf to wake me out of them.

Still haven't seen it. Had a bad break up with ex-gf minutes before going to movies to see it. Bad memories. Probably never watch it even though it's relevant to me.
