A false awakening may occur following a dream or following a lucid dream (one in which the dreamer has been aware of dreaming). Particularly, if the false awakening follows a lucid dream, the false awakening may turn into a "pre-lucid dream", [2] that is, one in which the dreamer may start to wonder if they are really awake and may or may not come to the correct conclusion.
A false awakening is one in which the subject believes they have woken up, whether from a lucid or a non-lucid dream, but is in fact still asleep.

Some dream diarists report writing down the same dream one or two times in a dream before actually waking up, and recording it in a physical dream diary.
Related to—yet distinct from—the manifest content, the latent content of the dream is the unconscious thoughts, drives, and desires that lie behind the dream as it appears. These thoughts in their raw form are permanently barred from consciousness by the mechanism of repression, but continue to exert pressure in the direction of consciousness.
Thus, in his seminar notes of 1936 and 1937, forming the first part of his synthesis work On the Interpretation of Dreams, he draws up a historical panorama ranging from Artemidorus of Daldis (2nd c.) with his Five Books on the Art of Interpreting Dreams, to Macrobius (b. c. 370), through his Commentary on the Dream of Scipio, and Synesios of ...
