Casual use of a lift or teleport? Let me know

If they were in a "libraryish" setting, otherwise just books. Let me know. ( Example; Box77 had a dream about books on a conveyor belt going in to a "cell" with books inside so I counted that. ) I'll be sure to pick a clearer theme next time

Advanced versions of tasks earn points instead of basic versions, not in addition.

Spoiler for Lucid:

Regular Lucid

I'm with my friend in some bedroom at night. There's a bluish hue to the room from the moon light shining through a window. My friend is handling sharp knives threateningly and there's large moths flying around the room. There's an unsettling feeling to the moment and I ask myself "What is happening?" I do a nose pinch and it works, I'm dreaming! I see the moths which now look hideous. The moths have flashing lights on their wings and they're moving all over the curtains. I point at the moths and tell my friend "Look at those things! F-kin hell they're horrible!" Suddenly one of the moths leaps from the curtain and begins flying straight at me, but in a slow waving pattern. It's as if there was now only me and the approaching moth in the room and I try to shoo the thing away without success. Aah! I begin waking up, but I stay still and re-enter the scenery and there's my friend again holding his knife looking at me. I shake myself awake.

Night Total - 15 Points
Comp Total - 27 Points

I don't think it was a libraryish setting. My recurring themes these days seem to be hotels and water. Not as much library activity lately.

Notes:
- I didn't count anything from the first (before the FA) part because it wasn't really intentional and I have no idea if I was lucid before casting the spell or if it got me lucid.
- Passing through the tree (which was a young birch, maybe 3-4 meters tall) isn't exactly pushing a hand through an object but it also isn't fully phasing through a big solid object (like a wall). More like partial phasing, basic tier? It was a bit like playing a game where obstacles aren't really obstacles.

Definitely more than a casual use. Could be considered a teleport. But I usually consider teleport a sudden and complete change of scene to a specific desired location and I typically take a slower and more vague approach, so I am never sure what is enough to count. I use a lot of indirect and slow control of the surroundings, like walking somewhere and letting my expectations change the environment slowly or adjusting my expectations about what's behind a corner.
I definitely wanted the lift to open directly to an outside urban area and it did. It was that vague - wanting to be outside and in a city or somewhere with a lot of people. It was dream control and it worked.
But it feels more like the basic tier than the advanced tier. Maybe "unspecified dream control" or "use an ordinary object to perform dream control"?

Night 12
