Dreams are a fascinating subject. Some of their essence, with dreams-within-dreams situations have been described in the 'Inception' film.

It is one of the few hollywood films I saw which is actually thought provocking.

they correctly described the dilation of time while dreaming and introduced an exponential dilation of time while plunging into deeper layers of dreams.

If you didn't see it I suggest it, notwithstanding the celebrities.

As far as I can recall I only had dreams within dreams (I dreamt to dream) but it is possible that someone had more layers of dream experience (dream to dream to dream to dream; this would involve 4 awakenings before hitting objective reality. which we also know is a dream itself.

Also, in my experience and based on objective measurements and estimates, time in the first level of dreams can be 5-10 times longer than time in the objective reality.
