> Since we're discussing dreams in detail, why not? I've had one lucid dream. I dreamt I was falling asleep (interestingly, it felt like falling), and then I knew that I was dreaming. I was in the library of a gradeschool I attended, and I just wandered around for a while and looked at things. Then I "woke up" into the first dream again, and didn't know that I was dreaming anymore. This was also the only dream within a dream that I can recall.

I think you maybe can call it a "meta-dream" -- a dream about a dream.

I had such dreams a few times when I was around 12 years. Originally, I'd have nightmares, and while I had them, I'd realize I was dreaming and try to wake up from them. So one time I dreamt that I went to sleep, only to have a nightmare that I was chased by an axe murderer (!!). I tried to run from him and hide all kinds of places (inside a stove, for example). I especially recall that I hid under a couch in our neighbour's house, knowing that the murderer was coming ever closer. While I lay there, as a last resort I tried all the "wake up tricks" I knew, like closing my eyes hard and opening them, or trying to fall asleep (inside a nightmare inside a dream!). I think it worked, because I have no recollection of any confrontations with him.
