Dreams within Dreams

waking up from a dream after waking up from a dream within a dream...2 dreams deep I dreamt he showed up alive again...I woke into the top layer dream while trying to take picture proof of him alive...the first attempts all I saw through the camera was myself in a mask....In this dream began relaying the dream I had to someone who clearly didn't care as I started crying saying "I should have known it was a dream when I asked him to change from a cat back to himself". Freshy barked and woke me from that dream...but I wonder if I am still in one.
