Wow, you had a pretty unusual dream, didn't you? The dream in which you fall asleep cannot be interpreted unambiguously. First, let us warn you - based on the details of this dream, you can tell a lot about a person’s emotional background, his tolerance and torment. So, why do you dream that you are lucky enough to sleep in a dream?
Why do you dream about sleeping according to D. Loff’s dream book
He argues that the state of sleep in dreams conveys the dreamer’s internal vulnerability to the outside world, his fears, experiences, and insecurities. Apparently, in real life there are some problems that you cannot figure out.
And indeed, when a person sleeps, he cannot control either his emotions or his behavior, much less protect himself from the threat lurking in the mysterious dream world.
However, becoming aware that you are dreaming or seeing yourself dreaming is the first step towards lucid dreaming. This is an amazing reason to pay increased attention to night dreams, learn to order prophetic dreams and even control your behavior in them.
Interpretation of dreams by famous personalities and dream books, Vanga, Miller, Freud and the sorceress Medea
- Dream Interpretation of Medea. The sorceress characterizes such a vision as a unique opportunity given to the dreamer, because he will be able to express his feelings, show his skills, only by trusting his heart, without making special plans, simply trusting his intuition and special “human logic.”
- Miller's interpretation. The psychologist warns that the dream is quite dangerous; betrayals and betrayals are not uncommon, which, however, will be easily revealed by you. Another thing is what scars they will leave on your soul, how quickly the dreamer will leave them depends only on him.
- Interpretation of Vanga. The Bulgarian seer associates such a dream with deception, betrayal and gossip. You shouldn’t trust all people; you shouldn’t tell even your closest friends about all the nooks and crannies of your soul.
- Dream book of Sigmund Freud. Freud gets to the root of it, and the double dream symbolizes a lack of sexual contact.
Dream Interpretation of Medea: what does it mean to sleep
If in a dream you sleep alone, then in reality there will be an excellent prospect of starting a new business. If you happened to be on vacation with another character, then you should not succumb to gross provocation, otherwise there will be a huge scandal. Did you dream that you spent the night with two or more people at once? You probably regret the lost relationship and this is slowing down your whole life. The vision calls for letting go of the past and paying more attention to the present.
Spending the night in a strange place and clearly feeling discomfort means a quick rest or a pleasant trip. This is also a sign that you need to mobilize hidden resources to overcome a difficult stage in life. Waking up in a dream means that you need to listen to your own intuition, only it will help you get out of a confusing incident.
Interpretation of Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima
If you dreamed that you were sleeping or getting ready to go to bed, then this is a sign of your inaction, uncertainty and inappropriate slowness. If at the same time you experience painful feelings, then the cause of all troubles will be personal indecision.
An excellent mood and elation indicate that you can forget about your problems for a while and have a good rest. Perhaps everything will be resolved without your direct participation, or, having completely relaxed, you will find an ingenious solution.
Did you happen to sleep in a dream under extremely strange circumstances? This is a sign that your uncertainty or carelessness will lead to disappointing consequences. The vision warns: you need to act immediately, otherwise the moment will be missed.
See yourself sleeping
If the dreamer finds himself sleeping, many interpreters interpret this phenomenon not as an ordinary allegorical image of a dream, but as the work of consciousness in a different mode.
It's called lucid dreaming. Such phenomena quite often indicate that your abilities are much wider than you always thought, and dreams are the key to being able to unlock your true potential. In dream books:
- Meneghetti: why do you have a dream in a dream - to exhaustion of strength, the need to take a break from business, change the rhythm of life and relax;
- David Loff: a sleeping person is especially vulnerable, and what one dreams of waking up to in a dream depends on the experienced feeling of relief or anxiety; The key to the solution is also at what moment you woke up and what the awakening was like;
- Simone Canonita: sleeping in nature in a dream means traveling, a long trip; in a country house - to the fulfillment of one of your desires; on the road - to new business contacts; visiting relatives - good luck; for a romantic partner - to envious people; in your bed - to illness;
- Velesov: seeing yourself sleeping is a risk of mental insanity, illness, difficulties in business; sleeping in the open air - to joy and lightness;
- Modern: trying unsuccessfully to wake up, being afraid of being late - means trouble at work; the dream may also reflect a real fear of oversleeping for work;
- Esoteric: why you dream about sleeping and waking up - to the discovery of the ability to control your dreams; you need to try to remember as accurately as possible the state of awareness that you are dreaming, remember it before the next time you fall asleep and ask questions that you want answers to in a dream.
Independent interpretation
When a sleeping person realizes that he is dreaming, most often we are talking about one of two states of consciousness.
The first, as a rule, occurs during an anxious, difficult dream - when the dreamer is forced to flee from danger and at some point intuitively feels that the best way to escape is to wake up. In such cases, awakening may not occur immediately; a feeling arises: “I see a dream in a dream and cannot wake up.” The dreamer may make attempts to wake himself up, usually unsuccessful at first. There may be a conscious desire to open your eyes, turn on the light - which most often fails right away - and often this is seriously frightening and leaves a very alarming feeling of danger after waking up.
This state may indicate the existence of certain obstacles that prevent the dreamer from fully revealing his abilities, realizing himself and achieving what he wants in life. Moreover, obstacles can be both internal and external, but in any case it is possible to recognize, calculate and neutralize them. If such visions are repeated, it is possible that the dreamer needs additional protection or outside help. There are quite a few ways to do this, but the most common is the protective sphere surrounding a person. You need to activate it before falling asleep, mentally imagining it around you. The color and texture are chosen intuitively by the dreamer himself: the sphere can be hard or elastic, transparent or opaque, mirror, silver, gold or any other color.
The second state can occur in any dream scenario, during any action or intention to perform this action. It is usually detectable when the dreamer notices that, of his own free will, he changes what he sees around him. For example, one doesn’t like the rain, and when one thinks: “Let it stop already,” the rain stops, and the person understands that this happened because the picture before his eyes is a dream, and he can control it. In fact, as soon as a person realizes that he is dreaming, he can build any scenarios at his own discretion, and everything around him will line up according to the dictates of his thoughts “like magic.” Such dreams are signals that the dreamer’s consciousness is ready to work at a new level and deal with information of a higher order than what is familiar to ordinary people. This means that the dreamer can “order” dreams for himself, move his consciousness in them to many points in space and time and fill them with the images he wants to see.
Also, the dreamer can see his sleeping body from the outside, see the awakening and actions that the body performs against the will of the consciousness that has “separated” from it. Some dreamers mistakenly consider such phenomena to be exits to the astral plane, but in reality this, most often, is also one of the options for lucid dreams. Travel in the astral body is unmistakably revealed by the exact coincidence of what is seen in a dream and what is happening in physical reality, and all differences betray attempts by the consciousness to pass off the work of the imagination as reality.
Phenomena of the same nature include “a dream within a dream within a dream.” For example, when a person dreams that he survived an attack and was wounded in the arm, he wakes up and sees that his arm is bandaged, and only after that does he truly wake up. Such “matryoshka” dreams with double and even triple investments (especially if the dream landscapes are highly realistic) indicate a high internal concentration of consciousness and a readiness to work with fairly high levels of information.
The attitude towards this type of dreams in various religions is interesting. Abrahamic religions, such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, as a rule, give interpretations only in a negative way. Such dreams are considered the machinations of evil forces, aimed at leading the dreamer astray, confusing him, or even gaining control over his creation, breaking into the world of people. Religions that pay great attention to the inner world of man, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and various directions of paganism, as a rule, on the contrary, claim that the appearance of lucid dreams is a sign of a transition to a new level of perception, positive divine and spiritual influence. This difference is apparently explained by the fact that in the first case there is a kind of stigmatization of subconscious processes - they are firmly associated with something “dark”, “bestial”, “unclean”, which certainly needs to be “humbled”; here there is a clear contrast between the human and the divine. In the second case, the depths of the subconscious are perceived as an unknown space of the personality, which not only can, but also needs to be studied; one can cognize divine powers only by knowing oneself - after all, people themselves are manifestations of gods on Earth. There are countless options for lucid dreams, and they are seen not only by practicing dreamers, but also by people who are far from familiar with such techniques. Trying to find out what answer the dream book will give to the question: I had a dream within a dream - what does that mean? - as a rule, they do not lead to meaningful answers simply because in such a dream it is not the image or the scenario that is important, but the very fact of such a dream.
A dream in a dream usually means only one thing: the fact that the dreamer’s consciousness is moving to a new stage of development. Such phenomena should not be scary, because they do not indicate a loss of control over the connection between the body and consciousness, but, on the contrary, its strengthening and the emergence of the ability to control it. Therefore, it is only a matter of the dreamer’s own conscious choice - to leave this amazing achievement without attention or to show interest in his abilities, learn more about them and take advantage of the new opportunities that are now opening up before him.
Such a practice is not just exciting entertainment, but a real opportunity to strengthen intuition, develop the gift of foresight, learn to build scenarios for your waking life through dream scenarios - and this is only a small part of what becomes available through the practice of lucid dreaming.
Why do you dream about sleeping according to a collection of dream books?
If you dreamed that you were sleeping, then you have definitely entered the astral plane, and you simply see yourself from the outside. Don't be scared, but try to relax and at least look around. This vision provides incredible perspectives that, if used correctly and skillfully, will open doors to other worlds.
Dreams in which you have another dream can be interpreted in approximately the same way. These are clear signs of a lucid dream. You probably have a natural predisposition for this and it needs to be developed.
If you do not take into account the esoteric decoding, then sleeping in a dream literally means that there has been a period of stagnation in life. You should not expect changes or any advancement in the near future. Sometimes this position can provide the necessary respite, but more often than not it leads to regression.
Scary to sleep
Sometimes nightmares are accompanied by intense panic attacks. A person may scream, gasp, or thrash around during sleep. Sometimes such actions frighten the sufferer more than a nightmare.
“Sometimes I find myself screaming horribly in the middle of the night, and I find it hard to believe that I can scream so loudly. The next morning my throat hurts... I wouldn’t be able to scream like that even during the day if I tried,” shares a user named Joshua.
However, screaming is a relatively harmless part of the nightmare. It’s much more scary when a person sleeping suddenly begins to behave like someone who is awake. A person can talk, laugh, cry while sleeping, rearrange things on the nightstand, put on and take off shoes.
Doctors call this behavior parasomnia. It is defined as a disorder that causes unusual behavior during sleep. Usually a somnambulist walks, eats or talks with his eyes open, but without awareness of what is happening.
If left unchecked, parasomnia can be very traumatic. On social networks, a girl under the nickname Jen retells the story in horror: “Yesterday my mother called me. She was rushed to hospital after a nightmare caused her to jump out of bed and hit the wall. She now has seven surgical staples in her head!”

Decoding the dream book from A to Z
If in a dream you dozed off right in the chair, then in reality you are threatened with betrayal by your lover, at the moment when you begin to completely trust him. If you suddenly wake up and cannot understand where you are, then in reality you will again find the hope you had lost. Did you dream that you were woken up rudely and tactlessly? In fact, you will find a decent job and can finally improve your financial situation.
Seeing yourself sleeping on the roof of a multi-storey building means rapid career growth and overall success. The main thing is not to fall out of there in your sleep. If you happen to spend the night in nature, you will soon go on a long journey that will bring benefits and mental satisfaction.
But sleeping on the top bunk on a train without a bed at all means that you are quite happy with your current, even if very modest, situation and you do not intend to change anything.

Why does a sleeping person, man or woman, dream?
Seeing a man dozing at night is a sign of a happy coincidence that you may miss due to your own inattention or carelessness. A person sleeping, regardless of gender, sometimes symbolizes the dreamer himself. In this case, it is necessary to take into account where and how he sleeps.
If you dreamed of an unfamiliar woman who was calmly and serenely dozing, then you need rest. According to another interpretation, this is a symbol of one’s own soul, which has found peace in faith. Accordingly, the stranger, who sleeps extremely restlessly, personifies the soul in the waking state. By a lady's appearance one can judge her true attitude towards the real world.
If you dreamed of an unfamiliar man falling asleep, then you will receive money from an unexpected source. For a single man, a sleeping girl is a sign that he will meet his destiny.
"A couple of hours when I'm not afraid"
In an effort to unite people suffering from nightmares, a thematic support group has appeared on Facebook. It consists of more than 500 participants from all over the world. The group provides a safe space for nightmare sufferers as users search for similarities in symptoms, share medical prescriptions, and simply blow off steam.

Women seek help four times more often than men
“My nightmares really annoy me. Yesterday I had a dream in which I was choking on a pile of coins that got into my throat. That evening I had another nightmare - I was sure that I was choking on broken glass that had once been a figurine of a ballerina. Why don't I just have a normal choking dream involving food??? Now I'm wide awake and afraid to fall asleep again,” writes Mindy.
The next morning, the group members are usually broken and in a bad mood. Some feel shame and embarrassment because they raised the whole house to their feet with their scream.
A depressed state affects literally everything.
“I had to quit my job. My nightmares were so bad that they affected my ability to cope with simple tasks,” says Holly.
“There are only a few hours a day when I am not afraid,” Barbara comments below.
Users note that nightmares become more frequent during periods of severe stress. The loss of a loved one, overwork, and neurotic disorders affect the plot of dreams.

A sleeping child or baby in a dream - what does it mean?
Little children who have fallen asleep in night visions symbolize creative ideas, plans and ideas that are only ripening in the head. They need some more time to fully take shape and “awaken” in reality.
Holding a sleeping baby in your arms means that you have to work hard and hard before you achieve even a little success. If a baby who sleeps in a cradle does not evoke associations with a real-life child, then this is a sign of the accumulation of internal energy.
Did you dream of a crib with a sleeping child? In reality, you are destined for prosperity and well-being, and in addition the affection and love of other people's children. Putting your own baby to bed means a serious illness for one of the household members. After such a dream, an unmarried girl should take care of her reputation, which can be spoiled by the gossip of evil friends.

It is recommended to wait for some time after the dream, without getting involved in adventures, deals or taking on important projects; you should be careful in everything.
- Your brother fell asleep while in your dream. The dream foretells excellent understanding between you and relatives, friends and colleagues. You have finally begun to trust each other, so you no longer need to be afraid of betrayal.
- You felt sleepy. If you dreamed that you wanted to sleep in a personal dream, then such dreams symbolize your capriciousness. You are used to doing something first, and only then thinking about the reason for your action. Dream books recommend that the dreamer takes life more seriously, and such a dream is only a reminder of a too idle lifestyle.
- Lots of people sleeping. The vision showed you many people who had fallen asleep, which means you have to show yourself in all your glory. Use your talents, surpass everyone, become much smarter and better at a certain task, which will bring you one step closer to your cherished goal.
- A group of two or three people who sleep nearby. Not the most rosy dream, in the near future the dreamer’s reputation will be affected by gossip that will be spread by neighbors, colleagues or just acquaintances of not the most distant mind; one should also beware of betrayals.
- A little boy. After such a dream, prosperity will come to your abode, peace will come to your soul, and life will be full of adventures for every day.
- The baby sleeps, after having yelled and cried thoroughly. The vision predicts a troubled life; at least for some time after the dream, you will be faced with far from pleasant troubles, minor everyday problems and quarrels with or without any reason with the people around you.

The cat, who considered it his duty to fall asleep in your abode of dreams, is a symbol of a series of betrayals and deceptions that will happen in your life, but which will not cause you much trouble, will be revealed quickly, and the conscience of the people who attacked your honor will ache for a long time.
- You were lucky enough to fall asleep in nature. While relaxing in nature, you fell asleep, in which case this dream means the submission of your enemies, they hid or realized that you are much stronger and smarter, so it is futile to compete with you.
- You fell asleep in a wedding dress. Falling asleep in a wedding dress in your dreams, especially before the wedding, is a bad sign. Most likely, a wedding in real life will not happen; your expectations will be destroyed without due diligence.
- We went to bed naked. A dream with a similar plot predicts shame for the dreamer, destruction of reputation, and terrible gossip that will be believed.
- You fell asleep in a hammock. Sleeping on a hammock in a dream is a great sign: you will be able to maintain a good mood, will not betray your principles and will remain an incorrigible optimist in any life situation, which will help you make the right decision and move forward no matter what.
- You fell asleep, we apologize, in a coffin. Yes, a terrible dream, but a positive interpretation cannot but rejoice - a very long life awaits you, all dream books unanimously recognize the vision in which you had to sleep in a coffin as a harbinger of a long life filled with love and affection.
- You fell asleep on the street, in a busy area. Many dream books project a dream with this plot onto real life, namely, you will sleep through the most important events of your life, and then you will regret more than ever before such irresponsibility and indecision to refuse your urges and bad habits.
- We fell asleep on the grass. And these dreams are interpreted extremely positively, just like falling asleep in a coffin. So, if you are lucky enough to fall asleep on soft grass, a carefree life awaits you, filled with fun, creativity and love. You will live it without betrayal, of course, if you yourself are a good person.
Why dream of sleeping with an ex, a friend, a dead guy?
If you happen to spend the night with your now deceased husband, then in reality there will be trouble. Finding an unfamiliar dead man sleeping in your bed is a sign of success in an unreliable business. Sleeping with the deceased means that there will be a noticeable cooling in the love relationship, which will lead to separation.
Seeing your ex in your own bed predicts an event that will be so unexpected that it will completely throw you off balance. If a friend was sleeping in bed in a dream, then in reality carefully thought-out plans will be completely upset due to an unforeseen turn.
If you happened to spend the night in the same bed with a guy or man you know, then in reality you will have to apologize for your own mistakes. If it was a stranger, then the future relationship will end very badly. In addition, this is a sign of trouble and mental shock.
Death or sleep
Seeing a guy fall asleep during intimacy or immediately after it is a sign of loss. If you need to leave and cannot wake him up, the dream means spoiled pleasure and a cooling relationship. The modern dream book writes that your plans will collapse.
After the dream, the wedding or engagement will not take place, since the young man will end the relationship without explaining the reason. If you try to wake him up, and the guy is dead, the dream will lead to complete collapse. You have already lost him, and the man is unlikely to return to you.
Walking into a room and seeing your ex-husband or boyfriend on your bed is news. Perhaps he will try to make peace. If your ex-husband lies down on the bed with his feet up, the dream book predicts that he will appear in the house again and cause a scandal.
The dream book says that this person will be rude and make a statement. Waking him up and kicking him out of the house means the end of an unpleasant situation. But if your husband resists and you can’t budge him, this is a bad sign. The modern dream book prophesies that it will be difficult to kick him out just like that.
If a meeting with your ex-boyfriend is desired, and you see your loved one sleeping on your bed, wait to meet him. But some girls dream that they will very soon realize the futility of trying to regain their old relationship.
If you put a dead person in a coffin and bury him, you should forget him. The relationship is unlikely to lead to anything good.
A dead person on the bed predicts illness or death in the house. Pay attention to whose bed he is sitting on. That person will soon get sick or go to another world.
Sleeping and seeing that instead of a bed there is a grave is a sign of bad influence. Such a dream prophesies deterioration in health for the sick and misfortune for the healthy. Be careful at home and while driving to avoid getting into an unpleasant situation.
If you rose from the grave and walked, the unfortunate events will end. Such a dream often predicts long life, joy and happiness.
Riding on a bus and seeing that the driver is asleep at the wheel is a health hazard. Such a dream can mean a big mistake that will happen due to someone’s negligence and indifference.
Stopping the vehicle or making it drivable again is a good sign. You will be able to cope with all difficulties and troubles without outside help.
Pay attention to your fellow travelers. If these are your work colleagues, and your boss fell asleep at the wheel, then you can soon take over his post. In other cases, the dream predicts an unpleasant and responsible matter.
Why do you dream about a sleeping wife or husband?
Finding your husband sleeping with his mistress in bed is a wonderful gift from your spouse. If the faithful sleeps alone, then in reality a period of calm and prosperity is coming. Did you dream that your husband fell asleep without undressing? Soon, your whole family or friends will go on a picnic, where you will spend time in idle fun.
A sleeping wife symbolizes news that will come from afar. This is also an omen of the imminent success of a certain enterprise, and in general good luck. Spouses sleeping together mark a very important, but certainly positive event.
Had a dream on a bed, feather bed, mattress
Why dream about a clean bed? This is a sign of family and general well-being. If you happen to sleep on a soft feather bed, then in reality you dream too much about a well-fed, comfortable life. If sleeping on a feather bed or bed did not bring pleasure, then some person was planning to ruin your life.
Sleeping on a comfortable bed or upholstered furniture is interpreted in much the same way. This is a symbol of peace, contentment, a good period. Did you dream that you slept on an uncomfortable bed with an iron mesh? A streak of failure and lack of money is approaching. The interpretation is especially relevant if you slept in a government institution: a hospital, a hostel, a prison.
Did you dream about sleeping on a bare mattress? Relationships with others will be simple and easy. Sleeping on a torn mattress symbolizes a miserable existence and lack of work. But if springs were sticking out of it, you will take a leadership position and manage a large team.
