Layer one: >going to my grandmother's house on foot >literally needed to climb some huge hills to go up there >my heart pounded due to the inhuman effort to climb them Layer two: >wake up in my bed >my dad calls me up, there was a guy from the bank trying to sell me something >I was so tired than I was barely incapable of see and walk >I realized I was still dreaming >this a scam, that fuarrrking kike wants to steal you, says no, you idiot >too tired to say that >sign the contract, but was capable of wake up after this Layer three: >wake up in my bed >my maid calls me for lunch >it was stroganoff Layer four (real world: >wake up >1 o'clock PM >don't know if the last one was a dream or not >think a bit Realized than I haven't had lunch yet. Holy soykaf, lived some kind of Inception or what?

False awakenings are pretty common, especially if you're trying to practice lucid dreaming. I have 5 or 6 in a row occasionally. It's always very disorienting when you ACTUALLY wake up. (or did you?)

>>1276 How did you achieve that? I would like to do this.

Sounds schway but i'm quite sure it wouldn't be nice for me. With all that realistic nightmares i've been having lately i'm kinda scared about false awakenings.

>>1278 From what I've heard, it's only something that occurs unintentionally. I don't believe it can occur intentionally, for then it would just be a layered dream (is this what you meant?) rather than consecutive false awakenings.

One time I was taking a 15 min nap but fell asleep and was trying to wake up thus causing me to have a couple layers of false awakenings, sleep paralysis included. I also had a layered dream once, a normal dream in which, at one point, I went to sleep and had a lucid dream that ended when a character from the normal dream woke me up. Layer one: >dream something I can't remember >realize I fell asleep and I have to study in waking life >purposely wake up Layer two: >in my mom's house, it's dark >step out of bed, see my mom and follow her >see her walk towards her bed and disappear >she reappears in bed, sleeping >realize this is still a dream >ask her what can I do to wake up >wake up Layer three: >in my bed >through the semi-opened door I see a stranger entering the apartament >he goes to the kitchen out of my field of view >I get scared and try to stand up, moving is really difficult >my muscles feel non-responsive and heavy >seeing is difficult, like I had sand thrown into my eyes >I do a lot of noise, like a drunk guy trying to get up and hitting everything >the guy must have heard me >wake up Layer zero: >in my bed >I'm tired, my heart is beating like a drum >do a couple reality checks >haven't woken up from this layer yet When this happened I didn't know about sleep paralysis. I get it that the brain paralizes the body so you don't enact your dreams while asleep, but the scary visions that come with it are plain evil.

>>1281 I don't think I've had multiple awakenings yet, but I have suffered from very realistic nightmares I believed to be true before.

>>1277 Oddly enough I'm not. I could to it sometimes only, like in layer two,and (not really sure) layer one. >>1278 I have no idea, it just happened.

My recurring version is: > alarm sounds, wake up > curse the fact that I have to get out of bed > start getting ready for the day > alarm sounds, wake up again > curse the fact that now I have to go through the torment of morning again > start getting ready for the day all over again > alarm sounds This will happen like six times, maybe more.

Just had this happen too OP. >>1298 >>1299

>>1287 Try turning off your alarm for a day (weekend, holiday, etc) and, assuming you remember you disabled it, when this false awakening occurs you'll merely awaken into a lucid dream. You have a great opportunity- don't waste it.

>>1283 >in my bed >I'm tired, my heart is beating like a drum >do a couple reality checks >haven't woken up from this layer yet This is my only layer pretty much all the time.

>>1303 Interesting suggestion. I just realized that this layered dream hasn't happened to me in a while because I'm a born again NEET with no reason to wake up at any time. The problem with your idea is that if I knew I didn't need to be woken up to get to work or school, I wouldn't have that dream in the first place. It's caused by the anxiety of knowing that the alarm is coming in the first place.

>>1305 Damn it.
