Dreaming in dreams means there is something important bothering you and your brain is stressing its importance by putting you in several cycles of dreams. When you become aware that you are dreaming, the dream usually starts over as you dream the action of “waking up” but in reality your brain has set you up for another dream. To be aware you are dreaming or to be sure you are truly awake; studies have shown that during dreams, lights cannot be turned off or on and you are unable to tell time. Problems in life that bothers you of that you brush off and consider insignificant is being converted into the problems in your dream and by dreaming of dreaming, your brain is telling you it is significant.

Whats that.
