Dream within a dream

I need guidance or advice: I had a curious dream, I dreamt that I was dreaming. I’m asleep, and I dream that I receive a ‘warning’ message for a dear friend, but our relationship has deteriorated over the past few months. I’m shown a woman giving her something (a piece of jewelry or clothing) and that she must not accept this gift. I can clearly see the scene and the woman, her physical characteristics, etc. Then, I’m no longer in that dream and I tell my best friend about it and ask for advice: should I tell my friend or not, given our current relationship? He advises me to talk to her, and I see myself, with my best friend and my friend, in nature, I’d say at the edge of a small forest. There’s grass, trees, and it’s sunny. I tell my friend about the dream, and she seems skeptical but attentive to what I’m saying.

Have you ever experienced a dream within a dream? Did you receive a message or some information? It wasn’t a lucid dream or a false awakening.
