What do you a call a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a...

I once dreamt that I woke up reluctantly, grumpily brushed my teeth, got dressed, went to school, and found myself in my underwear. Then I woke up for real, brushed my teeth, got dressed, went to school, and found myself in my underwear. Then I yelled at myself and woke up for real and brushed my teeth, got dressed, went to school, and found myself in my underwear.

Then I woke up. I think.

Is there a term for this other than “friggin’ A!”?

And then you went on the SDMB and found yourself in your underwear.

And never woke up.

Well, I’ve got a word for that at least. It’s “Saturday.”

This site says they are “called “false awakenings” (or, less commonly, “nested dreams” or “recursive dreams”).”

Back when I was in the Navy, it was common to have “boatmares.” A boatmare was a bad dream about being on the submarine.

The worst boatmares were the ones in which you woke up to find yourself on the boat…at sea…with someone waking you up for your watch… :smiley:

I’m going to coin “dreamcursion”.

Nightmatrix.

Well, if it stops at the “dream within a dream within a dream” stage, it’s called “mawwiage.”

there’s no way that underwear add could have randomly appeared above…shiver…:eek:

Mawwaige…

within a mawwaige?

Was it about pears?
I think you’re insane. We are lost.
