So here's the question. I just experienced a lucid dream within a non-lucid dream. Does this mean that the inner dream was actually not a lucid dream after all?
Did I only dream that I could control my dream, or did I actually control it? Or put a different way, if the outer dream was scripted, does this imply that the inner one was too?
Thinking about this sort of thing reminds me...the last time I saw Mulholland Drive I noticed what I believe were dreams inside dreams. For instance, the first Winkie's episode occurs right after Rita falls asleep under the table--in real life, is this Diane dreaming that Camilla is dreaming? There are also other segments later on that are bookended by someone falling asleep and waking up.
