How to unlock the Dream within a Dream achievement in Path of Exile - Definitive Guide
Simply a luck based achievement, however there are better map choices to attempt to go for this as well as a way many may not know of (neither did I until it happened to me). That being said, good luck.
List of the Unique maps: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_unique_maps
These are both good in terms of having guaranteed maps dropping, but don't exactly have the best modifiers
Caer Blaidd, Wolfpack's Den ~ Unique Boss drops 4 additional Maps
Hallowed Ground ~ Unique Boss drops 3 additional Maps
Each Tier of the Beachhead maps have both IQ (Item Quality) & IR (Item Rarity) which is helpful for more and better drops.
Now as for what you might not already know, Zana can actually spawn you a Unique portal for her mission. I happened to get The Coward's Trial map spawn from Zana and when I killed the boss, I got The Coward's Trial to drop.
Drop:
Leaving the dungeon to Zana:
* Maybe The Dreamer's Dream Prophecy can help?
If there is less of a luck factor to this, feel free to add on.

Poorjoy's Asylum dropped for me while running Caer Blaidd. It is totally luck based, but adding in extra rarity/quantity & map quality help a bit.
I had a high rampage streak going, lots of +rarity% on jewellery, item rarity support skill gem, a couple of sextants over the map & 20% quality from chisels.
I didn't know about Caer Blaidd though, so thanks man!

Works in version 3.19 - there is an item called an 'otherworldly incubator', which is an item that can basically be attached to a piece of equipment and guarantees a Unique map drop after a certain amount of kills are reached. The incubator can be obtained from legion encounters (random) or bought from other players on marketplace (got mine for 1 chaos orb). Obtain one, stick it on a piece of gear, fill it up by killing monsters at or above a certain level (incubator tells you which monster level you need to kill at or above) and then when nearly full, load a unique map up, making sure monster level is correct, and when you have the required number of kills, map will drop, chievo popped.
If you need a unique map to load up, you can look at Kirac's missions (there is an item that allows you to reroll all of his missions guaranteeing a unique map available), craft one at the Bestiary (completely random what you will get) or buy one Kirac (his stock changes often) or other players.
Achievement also popped for my missus who was in the same party / map at the time, even though the Unique map was my drop.

Here is how I unlocked the achievement in the current league, Ancestors (3.22).... cutting out a huge amount of RNG.
I purchased an 'Otherworldly Incubator' from the Trade Market (I spent about 3 chaos orbs), prices tend to vary as the league goes on. You attach this item to a piece of equipment and it guarantees a Unique Map will drop after you've killed enough monsters to hatch the incubator. The level of monsters you need to kill will also depend on the level of the incubator you purchase... so the lower level the better, if you just want to grind this out easily.
Grind up monster kills until the incubator is close to filling up (a meter will appear on the right side of the screen, like for skill gems). If you haven't gotten a unique map drop yourself yet, you can use a 'Singular Scouting Report' to re-roll the daily Kirac missions to include at least one Unique Map. There are some Unique Maps that don't have a lot of monsters, but the majority do. Simply finish killing monsters in the unique map and hatch the incubator to pop your achievement.
