Yup, it's called Recursive Reality. (That covers seven or eight different types of recursivity, including that one.)
Is there a trope for recursive fiction? For example, having your Dungeons And Dragons character gather the party around a table for a fictional version of the same game, or for the new Assassins Creed game, Ezio is experiencing Altair's life while Desmond experiences Ezio's.
