False Awakenings: A Dream Within A Dream by kinglekan: 11:57am On May 01, 2015 |
How many of us watched Leonardo di Caprio's "Inception". That movie is too Have you ever had an experience in which you couldn’t be sure whether things were real or not? I am not referring to normal dreams, day dreaming or sleepwalking. These particular ones I am referring to seem real at the time and then you wake up and realise that they weren’t. I mean experiences which are more deeply confusing As a matter of fact very confusing!! A false awakening may involve getting up, having breakfast, getting dressed, heading out for work... all the things you do every day on autopilot. It appears so real and solid to warrant questioning its authenticity. Indeed, you will only appreciate how real a false awakening is when it happens to you - it reveals the remarkable capacity of the human brain to emulate and question reality. Sometimes in such experiences you may be very convinced that you have done all sorts of things when really you have not. For example, you probably attended a dreaded interview and scaled through, only to find out it was a mirage. The intriguing part about this is that you get the same feelings of tension and anxiety as you would have felt doing the same event in reality. The red flag here is that you would have to go through that same feeling of tension and anxiety or feeling of pleasure and gratification all over again. Depending on what the dream was about. I prefer the latter tho So let's discus!! Share your experiences and your thoughts. 9 Likes 7 Shares

Edited: I once had a dream in which I had another dream, I had to wake up twice to get back here. I've died many times in my dream yet I'm still here, in as much as there's a purpose for sleep I think there's a purpose for dreams I came to this conclusion after seeing the same event I saw in my dream in reality the next day. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

Yes, almost everyone has had such dreams. I even had one this morning, matter of fact; where I dreamt I killed someone with my bare hands cos he impregnated my sister and I hid his body in the gutter. I was so terrified I began running away and his "ghost" was pursuing me. Mehn, the fear was just too real. When I woke up, I was like "Thank God it's just a dream." 17 Likes 3 Shares |

MzNelly: Well this might not necessarily apply though. Most of the time when we dream we really don't know we are dreaming. But the focus of this thread is when you supposedly wake up from, for instance your "being chased by a ghost". Then you find yourself awake and breathing heavily thanking God it was just a dream, only for the police to come knock your door and say you actually murdered someone. This second "layer" of dreaming can go as long as you being locked up in jail and awaiting execution, only for you to wake up and realise that you had a dream withing a dream. You get the concept now right? 19 Likes 2 Shares |

2dice: Interesting but what you experienced isn't false awakening. It could be a premonition, vision or just mere coincidence. Plus its a singular layer of dream. I am referring to those who have had experiences of multiple dream layers. Have you watched the movie inception? That should give you a better idea of my topic. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Re: False Awakenings: A Dream Within A Dream by kinglekan: 3:06pm On May 01, 2015 |
2dice: Dreams look real most of the time. There are rare cases when you actually know you are dreaming even before you wake up. But that's like probably 10% of the amount of dreams you have had so far. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Twaci: Hahahaha!! How come we keep having similar experiences? Actually I have experienced false awakening twice. The first one was when I was still around 8 or 9yrs I guess. I was having a dream( I can't remember the content anymore), then I woke up in the same position I had slept. I got up from bed and wanted to pee, everything felt so so real. Although I had a feeling something wasn't right but I couldn't tell. So I decided to go outside the house to pee. On getting outside I saw a gutter in the compound that wasn't there in reality but I didn't notice that slight change in detailing. That was how I brought out John Thomas ooo When I was done with the last drop. I woke up. You know the rest. Cc: MzNelly 32 Likes 6 Shares |
