A Dream Within a Dream : A Deep Dive into Lucid Dreaming

A dream within a dream: It’s still a dream!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to wake up, only to realize you’re still dreaming? And then again… and again? In this experiment, I intentionally induced a lucid dream using WILD. The
result was a multilayered lucid dream, so vivid and profound that it reshaped my understanding of dream awareness and control.

The Moon wipes me out from a dream within a dream.

Layer 1. Lucid Dream.

Initially, there is a long fragment worth of non-lucid dreaming. Once I turned lucid, I woke myself up to do this challenge. Upon awakening, I did the WILD technique. A few seconds later, I had a false awakening in my room. The dream was fuzzy, so I decided to make my dream stable. It was night, and it was beautiful. I felt a flight would be helpful before doing anything, but I just flew into my room to go back to sleep, in my room, to induce the next layer.

After a few seconds of flight, the dream was pretty stable, so I decided to lay down in my bed to try to perform WILD within my lucid dream to go into another lucid dream. Firstly, I laid down in my dream bed and focused I wanted to WILD within the dream to enter another dream. I almost woke up, but I moved my eyes, and the dream became stable again. I attempted a second time, with success and without waking up.

Layer 2. A lucid dream within a lucid dream.

I had a False Awakening in a different room. It was in a big house, and my bed also looked different, it was greenish. I did not have any specific feelings, other than my normal feelings from being lucid. Neither, I felt like I was in a deeper connection with my self. Here I am at the second level of a dream within a dream. The dream was stable, so I attempted a second WILD. Once more, I laid down in my dream-dream bed and felt a shock around my entire dream-dream body.

I had another False Awakening inside a pyramid. I was still lucid, and I wondered why the hell I was inside a pyramid. My “bed” was the lid of a sarcophagus from some pharaoh who I had no idea who was. My dream was still stable, and I realized I was on the third level. They asked me to do a waking WILD and three WILDS more in the LD, so I had one more to go. However; I still had the same feeling, control, and personality from previous dreams, with perfect waking recall and also recall from what I have been doing since lucid. I laid down in my dream-dream-dream bed and focused on entering more in-depth into the dream.

I had another False Awakening in another room. I checked my hands to make sure I did not blow the progress. My index finger was skinny and long, so I succeeded. I was at the fourth level, completing the challenge. I was still myself, with my same personality and my same dream body. Any changes? I did not feel more rooted nor connected with myself; but felt like a regular lucid dream.

I decided to look for a friend, a fellow Oneironaut. I exited my room hoping to find her. Instead, I found someone who was pissed at me for no reason and threatening. I knew he was a dream character and I was aware that my psychic gifts were more significant in a dream, even with extra ones!. I was in a big room, and he started to ask me a lot of questions. A female dream character also began to ask me questions to see what was wrong with me that I did not get along with this jerk. I did not feel like wasting valuable time in the dream.

I never lost the awareness that I was sleeping in the physical world. The fact that it was a dream within a dream did not confuse me.

I exited my house, along with a couple more dream characters. It was night, and suddenly the moon turned red and threw a fireball at us. I decided to follow the dream instead of controlling it. I wanted to see where my subconscious was going to take me. Someone told me that I belonged in a different dream, so the moon was going to try to make that happen.

The moon obliterated all the Dream Characters that were with me. I saw the moon turning green. When the moon was green, it would poison me. Also, the moon turned blue; if you made eye contact with it, you would become paralyzed. The moon could turn black, and a big whirlwind appeared from it, sucked you into it and brought you to the previous dream. I explored this strange dream world while the moon was randomly changing within these colors. Sometimes it turned on its natural color, which made it harmless.

It was the most beautiful; a dream within a dream can be crazy.

I suddenly got to a place where I could see a lot of people. They were for an event for some sort. I wondered what my subconscious had for me. So I jumped the line, and a guy asked me for my member card. I thought if I opened my wallet, I would pull one, so I did. He also asked me for my ID. I tried to search for my ID while the moon was aiming at me and turned red. I did not want the moon to hit me, so I ran from there.

However, the red colors were very intense, very bright and then, a cloud of fire approached me. I ran and hid somewhere. All the Dream Characters did not seem to care. I entered a small kiosk; it was not more significant as a voting booth. I realized it was a Gamestop and I could purchase video games swiping my card in a machine. A few video game characters appeared painted next to the keypad. I wondered what games my subconscious made, but I could hear fire from the moon, so I left.

As I was walking, I avoided a fireball in the last second, when I witness the moon turning green and throwing me a cloud of green poison. I saw the cloud of green poison on me, I jumped to hide in a plant, and I could see how the poison killed the plant. I was fine, so I left the place. The moon was white, looking normal. I saw from the far distance the moon changing, but it was not attacking me. I observed how the moon turned black and absorbed someone.

An incredible feeling is coming. Could this be the magic of a dream within a dream?

I was flying by a lake. I am confident it was the Michigan Lake. It looked like it, like if I was in Chicago. Suddenly, I saw the reflection of the moon in the lake. It was a blue reflection, and I looked at the moon. I believe it was impossible for me to imitate what I saw on Photoshop. It was extremely beautiful and shiny blue. It was bright as the light, but it was blue. The color was also semi-transparent. I was amazed for such a beautiful moon my mind created.

I wanted to enjoy this moon with my friend, so I tried to summon her. While I started thinking about her and staring at such an amazing blue moon, I realized I was paralyzed and recalled that eye contact with a blue moon induced paralysis. I tried to regain control of my dream when suddenly, the moon switched to its black, absorption mode.

A colossal whirlwind came from the moon and hit me in a split second. I traveled at high speed towards the moon, and I wiped out. I couldn’t control it.

Going back to the previous levels. Level 3. If it is a dream within a dream, you should go back to the earlier levels.

I had a false awakening in the pyramid, the previous place I was before WILDing to a more profound dream. However, now there were people with me. I entered a chamber, and I had my Tarot Deck with me. Someone wanted to see it. She also had a Tarot deck, so I asked to see hers. I tried to channel and ask the Tarot a question; however, I do not recall the question. I cannot remember the first card, but the second one was called, “Bent Spoon and Fork.” The image of the card was a lot of bent spoons and forks, bent with psychokinesis. I tried to channel and figure the meaning of the card without realizing that I was looking at the card too much.

Climbing to layer 2.

I had a false awakening in a weird room, a room where I did a WILD on previous dreams. Left the room, and the quality of the dream was decreasing dramatically. I went to the restroom and tried to make the dream stable. However, the dream started to collapse.

Climbing to layer 1.

I had another false awakening in my room. I was back at the first level. My dream quality was terrible, and I doubted I would have enough time to meet my friend. I felt I was not going to recover the dream at all. I tried to focus on Astral Projection within my lucid dream, but I woke up. (Level 0, awake). I have been able to notice that this has been a dream within a dream because the return was by the same path as the one.

And this is all. Deep down, this is a single lucid dream. The whole theme of the levels is dreamt, although it really can be very intense. But since you have asked me several, I will share another dream in levels, but this time starting from an ordinary dream and alternating between lucidity and no lucidity. This dream(s) did confuse me a bit! But you have a wait until next week. I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy the read! See you next Wednesday!
