Peace fayax and Lucid Chaotic

SubhanAllah the nested dream happens to me also and there was a time some years ago when I was 16 to 19 years of age I used to get them often. Furthermore I think I may have even called them the same thing i.e. "nested" dream ...

One that I got that I distinctly remember is the following:

I'm drifting in the air and I can see the sky I am stepping upwards on an invisible staircase and I gradually hear my alarm clock I wake up and get out of bed, I perform wudu and pray fajr salat, then I go back to bed again ... when I wake up again I realise that never got up in the first case that I slept through and my praying was really me dreaming of me praying, because certain arrangements of the room and a feeling dawns on me in this life that I didn't really get up to pray fajr.

It leaves me wondering whether the prayer I offer in my sleep is counted or not. When that happens I get up to pray kaza anyway, it has happened something like 4 or 5 times to me, but now it has not happened for around 10 years.
