I also had an inception dream in a dream recently that was strange. I dreamed that I was being abducted by aliens. There was a bright light and I was lifted from my bed and carried mid-air through the hallway to the window and in my freaking the hell out panic I thought 'the windows have bars! I can't fit through them!' but then that apparently triggered in me that this was a dream. I suddenly woke up in my bed relieved it was a dream but I could not move and was paralyzed. I tried to scream but nothing could come out. It suddenly dawned on me that what I had just thought was a dream might not even be a dream but my experience with the aliens that had just paralyzed me. I could sense movement and light near me and was freaking the hell out. I awoke at some point.

That was a really strange dream for me because my paralyzed state felt awake (especially since I initially knew I had just came out of a dream) but I couldn't move. It was also a very 'experience'-centered dream where my mind went into a panic. Most of my dreams have stories to them and involve violence, survival, self-sacrifice, going on a journey to save women from death, and often betrayal. I have a lot of journeys where I cover significant ground in my dreams.

I never understood how people can have dreams with a singular event or something. My dreams (except for that weird paralysis one) are so involved. They're like movies or video games.
