Dream Timeloop Hell (or DTH, which I just made up) is basically when you have a lot of false awakenings and lucid and nonlucid dreams and can’t really tell what time it is or how long you’ve been asleep and you want to get up but you can’t and fall back asleep but actually you were dreaming of falling back asleep. Yeah I had one of those nights. It’s scary because you’re not sure when it ends. But once it does, it does.

hi! welcome!
I haven’t had it as bad as you describe but I have had my share of ‘nested’ FA’s where I keep waking up to wake up to wake up, and in those FA’s also again have a LD somehow, so yeah I get the feeling, but i never have had them to the point they feel so frustrating as you describe.
how is it scary? don’t you have trust that eventually you will wake up for real?
I used to have something similar happen to me when I dreamt almost every night. Same kind of ‘nested’ false awakenings and they used to disorient me so much. It’s hard to describe but it feels like a limbo between lucid dreaming and light sleep/waking up.
I had a recurring ‘waiting room’ type of dream last year where I would finish dreaming and wake up, but that itself was a false awakening and I would wake up a couple times before actually waking up in real life. The disorientating part is recognising you’re back to reality on the one where you actually wake up xd
i guess its just im less connected to logic so i forget about that and become scared. idk it just feels awful and makes my heart race.

Yes that is hell lol. Do you also feel a sort of blocked/resisting feeling? I’ve been having issues with dreaming as a whole lately and I dont know what could be the cause.
