In the dream you might not want to look at the message there so that you change the path of the dream by coming a bit more conscious but not fully awake. This is where you enter into that “lucid dream” state. You know your still dreaming, this is where a dream feels very real. At times you feel like your awake but til your fully conscious you might not understand it all.
This is often a message dream, where your being given an opportunity to look at things in your life path that need to be worked on.
To have a dream within a dream is to undergo a shift in perception and your reality of a situation. An interesting cinematic example would be the movie Inception, which deals directly with dreaming and explores the ideas of dreaming with a dream.

My teacher always used to talk about "time within time" and, as you duly noted, the action movie "Inception" does get that point across in a very interesting manner. A friend and I were just talking about that movie last night. Thanks for bringing that up.
As you also mentioned, "message dreams" are very helpful though it sometimes requires meditation to discern the meaning when they come in symbolic form.
