Last night I kept having different dreams in my dream and it was a very strange experience. I would be sleeping in my dream and having a dream and I would have to keep waking myself up in that dream and it would be a different scenario every time. I know it sounds strange and is really weird, but I don't know what to make of it. This went on for awhile and eventually I was able to wake myself up in the dream of the dream I was having.

Any help would be great.

It isn't weird at all. It's very common to have dreams where you think you are waking up but you are really waking up into another dream.

These dreams are called "false awakenings".

Could you be frustrated by something or feeling stuck in a rut in your waking life?

Oh i hate those kind. I once had a dream where i was being chased by this killer guy and then i woke up, walked downstairs and opened the door and he was standing right there about to kill me. That scared me more than anything because i thought i was really awake because i woke in my bed from just having a dream about him and there he is standing there. Then i woke up again, safe and sound.

I think it has something to do with you can't run from your problems because you're going to have to deal with them if you're awake or not. Or maybe part of you wanted to wake up and believed it did but the other part wanted to sleep in, so it did and you get this weird kind of dream until they both compromise and wake up together. I'm sorry, i don't know much about these but this is what i think and i've had a lot of them so you're not alone with these weird, scary dreams.

I usually dream that I wake up and I am late for a work or an appointment, but then I realize that it doesn't make sense, like one minute I wake up and the clock says its 6 AM, then the next minute it's 3 PM and I've missed almost a whole day of work, and I realize that I'm still dreaming, and then I wake up for real.
