 Dreams are a common way of including stories inside stories, and can sometimes go several levels deep.Both the book "The Arabian Nightmare" and the curse of "eternal waking" from the Neil Gaiman series "The Sandman" feature an endless series of waking from one dream into another dream.In Charles Maturin's novel "Melmoth the Wanderer", the use of vast stories-within-stories creates a sense of dream-like quality in the reader.
