 Any successful Lucid Dreamers here?

Are there any fellow Lucid Dreamers in the pub?
For the first time in 17 years of Lucid Dreaming, I was able to become lost within dream levels. It got the point where I believed I was awake, went through an entire day's agenda, and then go back to sleep while still Lucid Dreaming, to only begin Lucid Dreaming again. My fiance ended up waking me up and ended the loop, but this dream has stuck with me for the better part of the day.
Lucid dreaming, while already lucid dreaming, and after 9 'dream transfers', it felt like it would've kept looping if I wasn't woken up.
Anyone else experience anything like this?

I've only had 2 lucid dreams in my life. Fun as hell, but not nearly as intense as having a dream within a dream.

I've had dreams within dreams before.
I've been practicing for a while and actually obtain lucidity maybe 40 - 50% of the time. I like to think of myself as an Oneironaut of sorts. They usually seem to have a short duration though. I tend to become excited when I come to realize I'm lucid.

I have lucid dreams every once in a while, but i'm not practiced enough to make it last longer than a few minutes. I either wake up or forget that I am dreaming.
I did one time have a nightmare that was many, many levels of dreaming deep. I was laying on my bed looking at my bedroom door. Then I opened my eyes and was looking at my bedroom door, then I opened my eyes and was looking at my bedroom door.........
This continues until it started to get pretty frightening (over 50 times). I questioned reality for most of the day after finally waking up for real...or did I?

I've only had one lucid dream. I loved it.
I got to fly, but only a few hundred feet at a time. I'd sore up to the clouds, and then come crashing back down to earth, and repeat.
While we are on the subject of lucid dreaming, are there any good books on how to lucid dream more often, or train the brain to lucid dream?
Amazon recommendations would be great.
This thread has potential.

I remember having 1 lucid dream that was a mix of a wet dream...I literally had the best orgasm of my life, and this was produced by a dream! Straight up, it was in describable. It was like a double-orgasm and felt so nice afterwards..like an afterglow of a trip. I would do anything to have just 1 more dream like that one. I woke up jizzing everywhere in utter ecstasy..just thinking about it gives me a boner.
edit: this was honestly the hottest sex i ever had..it was so real and gave the craziest orgasm, my dick was tingling for hours. No joke. I want to master this, to say the least. I layed in my own cum for like 45 minutes it was so great. Mmmmm

I've been lucid dreaming for about 4 years now. I've slacked off in 2012, but I'm fairly successful at it when I dedicate myself to it. Still a very fascinating topic to me, so I'd be happy to answer any questions that I'm able to.
I've had dreams within dreams. And I've even had lucid dreams within non-lucid dreams. Whether you become lucid or not, it's a false awakening, which is common. I don't recall ever having a lucid dream within another lucid dream. I've personally never found experimenting with multiple dream levels worthwhile. Even for experienced lucid dreamers, it's very easy to lose lucidity. Attempting to go into deeper "dream levels" doesn't offer any real benefits as far as I can tell, and it only increases the chances of wasting an otherwise quality lucid dream.

One of the best aspects of lucid dreaming is its simplicity. The methods that have been proven effective are fairly well established, and you can find virtually all of them online. Online lucid dreaming communities contain pretty much all of the information available. I personally don't find it necessary to spend any money on lucid dreaming other than a couple of dollars for a dream journal. Even advanced devices like NovaDreamer have very limited and inconsistent track records for providing results.

Here's a factor that may JUST contribute to lucid dreaming---:
I think it was the user "Atheist" who said that compaction of heavy covers on you, and an uncomfortable amount of heat REALLY contribute to lucid dreaming.
Well, I do find this true. Many times have I woken up from a pure lucid dream, and I was extremely hot from being under my covers, and not kicking them off at night.
Also, when I was feverish and sick, burning up, I literally forced myself into a lucid dream while I was consciously thinking and awake.

I dream lucidly about 60% in the dreams that I remember

the key to lucid dreaming is to sleep in excess. when you wake up in the morning, lie back down and sleep for a few more hours. keep in mind your goal of controling your dreams and eventually it will work. You can fly through town like superman of have sex with Adriana Lima. It totally works. It helps if you do not have a serious stressful job or lots of family problems. Basically a happy clear mind with excess sleep will be the most successful at becoming self aware during a dream. I cant do it anymore, but they were some of the best experiences of my life.

im like sort of successful you could say. When i keep up with my dream journals and spend a lot of waking life thinking about dreaming then i usually end up going lucid at least once a week, which personally i dont think is that bad. And i stay lucid for a long time.
And dream sex, oh my god. i dont masturbate so i generally just have wet dreams every now and then and they are pretty awesome.
the key to success with lucid dreaming is really dedication, in my opinion. Personally i tend to get into like lucid dreaming phases where i get really into it for a month or two and then stop. I cant imagine what kind of crazy shit i could be doing if i could maintain that dedication for like an entire year

just remembered a funny detail. when i was a kid, i would dream that i was peeing in the toilet. In reality, i was pissing the bed. I did this all the time. This basically forced me to realize when i was dreaming. This is what eventually lead to me being able to control my dreams occasionally. Good luck!

To dream.
Take a warm shower before bed and some chocolate. Sleep, then wake up a 4AM and stay awake for atleast 15 minutes, then go back to sleep. You will most like;y dream.
