Rarely, but I have had this happen.  Often times when it does happen it's 
two subsequent sleep periods interrupted by being awake for a few 
minutes, and often the dream is lucid - and that's the reason I go back 
to sleep, to try to see what happens.

Recursive dreams are just weird.

I have a friend from years ago who used to keep a dream journal.  He 
remembers distinctly waking up one night and writing about the dream in 
the journal, but when he woke up the next morning, the pages were blank.  
He'd apparently had a dream in the dream, dreamed that he had woken up 
and written his entry and then gone back to sleep.

He said it was quite a pity, because he remembered the dream-in-a-dream 
was good but not what it was.
