Multiple Dreams Within Dreams

In my dream last night, I woke up on the floor in my parent's room. It was dimly lit. I wondered why I was there and tried to get up. I found that I couldn't move at all, though, try as I might. Then, in the corner of my eye, I saw a silhouette of my dad. I tried calling to him for help, but I couldn't speak either. The silhouette came closer, but it turned out to be just a massive shadow. I began freaking out, trying to move; trying to escape. I screamed internally as the shadow completely darkened my vision. Then...

I woke up in my own bed. It's morning and the memory of the previous dream's fresh in my mind. I run upstairs to tell my sister about it. Thinking back, my house looked really different (elements of an Asian dojo mixed with my actual house), but whatever. I go into her room and start explaining when I see something move in the corner of the room. It's the shadow again, moving towards me on the ground. I shout at my sister to run downstairs and I follow close after her. An iron fence appeared at the bottom of the stairs, though, with other family members on the other side trying to open it. I turn around and try to fend off the shadow that's drawing closer. Seeing that it was hopeless, I turn to my sister to tell her to hurry up, but when I do, I see her disintegrating and her form turning into the shadow. The two shadows then closed in on me from both sides. Vision blackened again. Then...

I woke up in my sister's bed. The room looked the way it was supposed to and I was relieved. I walk into the hall and look into the bathroom. My aunt's in there. Remembering that in the first two dreams, the first family member I meet attacked me, I avoid the bathroom and go to my parent's room. The door was open and I peer in. My mom's there, ironing. I tell her that I just had the weirdest dreams when she suddenly turned into the shadow and attacked me... Then...
I wake up in my family van and I know that I'm there waiting for my family who went shopping to come back. I see my grandpa walk close and he opened the door, setting the grocery bags into the car. I tense up, suddenly remembering the dreams. He came in and offered me things he bought from the Chinese bakery on the corner. I accepted, suspicious, but in my dream, fifteen minutes passed without anything suspicious happening and I relaxed. My parents and siblings found their way back and we went driving off. We just started driving when I see my other aunt on the sidewalk, scolding something. I see that it's her dog, Gigi. She was yelling at Gigi to come down from the building. Gigi was clinging to the side of the building, running away from my aunt by jumping to the side and clinging to the building. I didn't find this weird at all in my dream when I first saw it. However, after about 5 seconds, I realized that this wasn't normal and I turned back to look again.
I see that Gigi is staring at me intently. Gigi then turned black and into a shadow. The shadow sped towards me, closing the distance in just a second. I start screaming and my vision blacks out. Then...

I wake up. Once again, I'm unable to move. This time, though, I am completely sure that I'm dreaming and command myself to move. I do and I stand up. Excited, since it was the first time I was ever completely conscious that I was dreaming, I run outside and will myself to fly. I rise a few inches and fall. This happened a few times. I finally rose above my house and the trees. I was disappointed, though, since flying didn't feel as amazing as I'd thought it would be. I was lazily flying around when I suddenly was unable to fly anymore. I was over a canyon that was randomly there and I fell for a long time into this dark pit. Then...

I wake up. I decide to do the tests to see if I'm dreaming or not. I pinch myself and my skin stretched out like those kneaded erasers and falls into my lap. I groan and then decide to test what I heard the other day about how you can't turn on/off lights in your dreams. It was true - I couldn't. I decide to just sit there and wait. I was just sitting down when...
I actually woke up, dad screaming at me to hurry up since the people I carpool with to school were already waiting for me for a while.

This all happened within 2 hours. I slept at 4am and woke up at 6:10am. It was the strangest dream I ever had ._.
