The Erratic dreams of StaySharp

So this here is a big deal for me. A REALLY big deal!
It's been a little more than 6 years since I started with lucid dreaming, and like many other hopefuls I was also aiming at WILDs. Suffice to say they were very elusive to me for the longest of times. Painfully slowly over the past years I had more experiences giving me insight, like waking up unusually slowly out of a dream, basically an unintentional reverse WILD and all sorts of things like that.

So then today was the big day. I got into bed, decided to get out again and read a couple of things on WILDing again as I was planning that for a while anyway. Set my alarm for a bit more than an hour, sleep, get up briefly and put in earplugs.
They were a bit uncomfortable at first but rolling over and pressing my head into the pillow actually helped. They were just noticeable enough to give me an anchor while shielding me from outside sensory input.
As I was laying there I felt a heavy and tired sensation quickly, the one that's been dragging me back into sleep all sorts of times when I wasn't supposed to remain sleeping, but at the same time I felt my mind be decently alert and awake.
Maybe a minute or so after seriously lying down I start getting intense feelings of motion, I patiently feel into them and wait for them to pass, then I get up.

I'm in my room, it's dark and everything looks normal, and this surely would've made for an FA, but I didn't lose my consciousness at all, so I immediately reality checked with a nose-pinch, and sure enough, I was in a dream. Incredibly smooth and direct transition too. Perfect.
I open the balcony door, and as I wasn't exactly dressed I grabbed a t-shirt and quickly put it on while strolling through the neighborhood. It was very close to my actual living place in K, but there were some differences. I strolled through the place, and there were 2 persons, I levitated up on a building and then jumped down in one swoop close to them, like I often did in a Power Armor in Fallout 4. They did give me a weird look and I made a small impact but it wasn't much.

I conceived a plan to test out more stuff so I thought why not try summoning some beautiful girl? So I went into an apartment building, around a staircase corner and there was someone waiting who was very likely inspired by someone I knew from real life. Had red short hair like my wife currently but looked otherwise a lot different. At least the concepts, proportions, facial structure and the like were a compound of actual people known to me. She wasn't what I was looking for though, so after a few words I got out and repeated the same process (enter an apartment building, go around a staircase corner, meet someone) 2 more times.
The next time was a person that was inspired by one very particular person I know and remember from real life. I asked her about her height which just cemented my realization that she was directly inspired by person IN I knew from many years in my past. Again a few words and I moved on.
The third and last time there was yet another person in the same line, sort of okay looking, but not what I had tried to summon as eye candy, leading me to the realization that somehow my summoning parameters must've gotten restricted to known persons and looks.

I entered one of these apartment buildings again and basically entered a separate space with no way to get back, and it was bigger on the inside too. Hammer space time.
The place was very dimly lit and the architecture was almost persistent, changing just ever so slightly with every passing minute of me strolling through the corridors. I opened doors and explored rooms.
One of the rooms I distinctly remember was a storage chamber, and while looking into it and the vicinity I heard some disembodied voice talking about inheriting riches and getting through an awful time in an awful city, with him thinking he wouldn't have made it otherwise.
Odd but okay.
I also stumbled upon a room that was described as my classroom, with me being the teacher, but no one was there. It also had elements of a kitchen, a train station and not enough chairs.
Here I'm not perfectly sure about the chronological order, but some time before or after those rooms the dream sort of dimmed, and thinks became hard to see, I had the feeling of slipping away. I really focused on everything I was feeling, similar to ADA exercises, and a pulse ran through everything, giving it an invigorated and strong color for a moment. Also the corridor I was in when I did that had some mixture of grass and tiles on the floor.
Towards the end of the dream I heard a screeching sound to the left of that corridor, a terrifying cacophony, which only after a couple seconds I recognized as the train delivering my students.
I went to the room again where I saw them, I think like 5 or so. There was some Yu-Gi-Oh theme to them (for whatever inexplicable reason), and one of them was a snake dude, with scales and weird eyes.
Upon looking into his eyes the dream ended somewhat abruptly as I felt myself waking up, I knew there was no going back so I got up and happily started writing down this entry.


Now I'll see if I can repeat this semi-reliably. Sure, I might not be able to pull it off every night, but this was to deliberate and specific for me to believe it to be a fluke. I can do it again. And more importantly I then should be able to actively incorporate Ryuuko into these dreams.

The whole dream I was more or less in my home, in front of my PC. The dream began with a story about a certain something, which itself never appeared in my dream. I was talking to a unknown voice about the fact we hadn't nearly enough Information on this case and got pretty annoyed my staff wasn't able to understand the problem themselves. During that time I remember seeing a big hall, a little like a throne room, and a vase which was related to the information. As I was seeing and being in my room again I suddenly had this tiny crate on my desk, and somehow connected it to that information and the voice, as I opened it I only found tissue in there however, I was a little confused. I looked at my telephones (there were 2 of them, though I only have 1 in my room) and I noticed that the second one had something wrong on the bottom. I compared the 2 telephones and I was right, I took out the wrong part and saw the missing part somewhere but the whole thing made me highly suspicious. I was standing up and going to my door and did a nose pinch reality check. I wasn't able to understand it for quite a few seconds but in the end I became lucid, but my vision immediately blurred.

Then I've got to see phosphenia, like I woke up, however I excessively experimented around trying to get back into the dream. I remember moving my body and I felt it in a really strong and weird way. Some weird images popped up a few times. But after a minute or a little less the dream really ended and I woke up.

Spoiler for Improvement Notes:

Became lucid through noticing a wrong detail - very good
Reality check nearly failed to work - a little bad
Clung to the dream and tried to get back into it, not getting distracted by the probably attempted false awakening - very good
Woke up after a lucid dream yet again without actually getting anything done - bad

And again it wasn't directly from awareness, but as I expected I'm getting constantly closer to be able to do that as well.

Everything started with me hearing some music (it was inspired from Eisenfunk), it still was very basic but kept progressing and I saw some simple moving patterns as well. I immediately snapped back into being fully aware but that didn't interrupt anything, I just let the music progress and try to stay still, waiting for stuff to happen. The music became more complex, but the patterns vanished, quite a few seconds later I started to see some greenish patterns, so I focused on what it was and tried to make the picture clearer, with success.

I am lying on the second floor of some kind of open building, the ground is a certain type of greenish roof, a little bit dusty, old and also somewhat bumpy. Since I'm lying on my sidethe ground covers half of my vision, in the other half I see a part of the structure I'm in and a little bit of the sky. I feel that the time has come to move since I'm deep enough within the dream, so I slowly get up. I thought a second about whether I'm dreaming for sure but conclude I don't even need an RC to be sure.

Now that I'm standing I focus a short moment on stabilizing and raising my awareness, than I immediately start summoning the WSS, this time it consists of 6 Pillars, which are however really small (they look a bit like huge Q-tips). They connect to each other creating a ring of light. I seem to be unsatisfied however and constantly try to summon a better one, I use the already existing ones and some strange type of energy but without real success, on my second try the energy I try to send into the sky comes down as something paper-like. Some stuff happened and I know that I made a reality check before I lost lucidity.

I'm getting somewhat pulled into the progress of the dream, it involved eating some potato sticks and apparently me possessing some small dog, using the speaker system of the building I was talking to someone about these things (don't remember it that well). There was also a part involving some kind of skill evaluation with a game, don't know if it was at this part of the dream but since I wasn't lucid then as well I'll just throw it here.

Then someone was speaking to me about the WSS I was trying to improve, and said maybe I should check my eyes, and that he could do it, for some reason I was fine with it but I told him to apply the lucidity visor first, then I woke up however.

Starting with this entry I will make some notes on each lucid dream on how to improve myself and what I could've done better or what I forgot.

Spoiler for Improvement Notes:

Progress throughout the WILD was good - remember
Totally forgot about trying to get into contact with my dream guide - bad
Immediately stabilized and applied the WSS - good
Wasted time with trying to improve the result of the WSS - bad (it's only a ritual to tighten the mental connection to the dream)
Getting distracted by strange occurrences and losing lucidity - very bad
Remembering the lucidity visor - good
Suddenly waking up due to not stabilizing (as well as the "to be removed" schema) - bad
Had only medium control and though to much about what I can do instead of doing it - bad

I was on the street of a completely unknown city, it was a pretty rural place and nature didn’t seem to be impaled much to build that city. It was night and the sky was clear, as I looked up I saw several flying objects, up closer than normal planes. I saw a few space shuttles, and talked to some of the DC’s around about that. Then I saw something completely strange and began to follow it as good as I could. Apparently one of the houses there seemed familiar to me after the trees on the right side of the street cleared up, it was standing on a small hill. I went inside searching for some binoculars. The house was constructed in a strange way but it was pretty cool. I talked with some voice inside of the house, it probably told me something about that I should continue my WILD attempts or something like that. But I opened one of the doors and looked outside (it was early dawn, it looked very beautiful and realistic), and I said something like “Instead I should make use of this dream first”, and I immediately remembered what I wanted to do upon becoming lucid, I tried to apply the lucidity visor but my vision turned black. I had barely enough time to be annoyed that my lucid faded right the moment I was going to make use of it but I didn’t have any time for stabilizing.

It was pretty odd but interesting to become lucid through saying it like that myself even though I had no prior knowledge of dreaming.
