Possible to dream in a dream?

Maybe he didn’t say it, but too often perception is reality. Besides, it was just a weak follow-on pun;
algorhythm - Al Gore Rhythm - see?

Ok, let’s make it clear now. From Abbrevations we read:

FLD = False Lucid Dream - you are NOT realizing that you’re dreaming but still you act like a lucid dreamer and do everything you want to do - you have the behaviour of a lucid dreamer, not the consciousness. (DutchThor)
alternative definition: FLD = False Lucid Dream - you fall asleep in a normal dream and you become lucid. You could be very lucid but still you think that the guy which fell asleep in the normal dream is the “real”, waking you (BrainHacker)

I have had such meta dreams that are lucid ones. I cannot call them FLD-s according to the first definition, because i realize that i’m dreaming and doing it conciously.

But according to the second definition i had FLD.

But my main question is: are such meta lucid dreams considered as lucid dreams, or do i need to dismiss them when counting my overall LD-s? Even if i have had very bright and very concious LD-s while i was thinking also that i’m dreaming (but in different place than i actually was IRL)?

There is a difference between RL and dream - one happens in real world and the other in your head.
There is NO difference between dream and “dream-in-dream” - both happen in your head.

Hi,

Imagine you are dreaming (unaware), and it is time for bed, so you get into bed and close your eyes. Would you be able to dream, in that dream?

I have experienced something similarly.
I was dreaming that I saw a interesting movie, and after that,- I dreamed about the movie in my dream.
From my viewpoint; this was a dream in a dream.

It was a interesting dream.
