/dr/ - Dreams

do you mean waking up from a nightmare? I usually turn on the light and stare at the ceiling until i get sleepy again and go to bed. kinda wasteful since it takes about an hour each time, and I usually wake up feeling like shit anyways

No, I mean waking up in another nightmare. I think I woke up, but still sleep.
What are your nightmares?

That happened to me once, a while ago. I kept waking and waking up in my dream(s) to the point that I screamed "I am stuck in between dimensions help me." After waking up irl I had to check if I was still in a dream. I actually enjoyed it. I love colorful calm dreams but nightmares are also welcome.

I can't say that I've ever woken up inside a nightmare multiple times. I've had false awakenings before, but those were always very mundane.
A nightmare that really stood out to me was one I had when I was about 15 or so, when my room was next to my sister's room. I dreamt that she was some kinda cannibal necromancer that had killed my entire family and cut them into pieces arranged around her room, and reanimated or kept them animated. Then she spread her legs and there was nothing there except clear plastic piping like you'd find in your plumbing or something. There was just such a sense of disgust I had when I woke up that I wanted to puke. I could smell the viscera and gore and feel it in my hands, see it squirming and gasping. I have a feeling it really messed up my psyche because now I have very involved dreams about my sister and death

I get in little loops, but it's never a big deal. Just falling asleep inside a dream and waking up on different "layers." If it gets really confusing, sometimes I end up thinking I'm in the real world and end up living for months or even years, and make relationships and learn and grow and all that, but then I wake up for real and only 10 real minutes have passed. It's discombobulating.
