anybody have 2 levels of dreaming and think one is real???

I have been studying Lucid dreaming for a while. When I dream, and realize I am in a dream, I am happy to say that I have become lucid before. However, the lucid dreams don’t last very long because I think I have woken up. I haven’t really woken up though! I dream that I woke up from my dream inside a dream and I am sitting in my bed. This ‘first level’ of dreaming is much more realistic, and for some reason, I can’t realize I am dreaming still when I am in this level. I would love to have a lucid dream, because this would be a genuine lucid dream that would be incredibly realistic. How do I realize I am dreaming after I have dreamt that I woke up??? Has this happened to anyone else???

yea ive dreamt i woke up answered my phone and talked to my friend all so real, then he said call me back and i put the phone under my pillow. i woke up and looked for it and it wasnt there

that also happens with my television remote

should I do a RC when I see my bed?

Maybe we should all do RCs when we wake up

yea that would work… has that ever happened to you?

No I havent really had any LDs :sad: YET

It’s called a false awakening. That’s why you should RC immedately after you get out of bed. I do it while I’m lying down still trying to remember my dreams. If you do this you’ll instinctively do it when you have an FA, hopefully.

Oddly, the reverse is true for me, I am more likely to gain lucidity after having a false awakening than to lose it, and occasionally I have gained lucidity after falling asleep in a dream, instead of losing it by waking up into a dream.
