Dreamland

I know what you mean about dreams within dreams! I've had those since I was a child - the most frightening was when I dreamt I woke up and saw someone out my window setting our house on fire. When I awoke, I saw the exact same thing again! Then I REALLY awoke. That was so freaky.
As an adult I still do the dream within a dream, but not quite in the same way. I will be dreaming something (usually disturbing - why can't this happen with GOOD dreams?) and think I have awoken, but as I progress I realize that actually I'm still dreaming because certain things will be odd, or there will be people around that are not supposed to be, etc.
Last week I thought I was awake and I turned over to cuddle my hubby. It was so real. I was really surprised when I awoke to find that it was a dream. So I turned over and cuddled him in real life!
