Moving in formation

When I woke up in the early morning I decided to not stand up and prepare my mind for a few more dreams. A good decision as it seems! Two false awakenings in a row I found myself just standing in my room with the light turned on. I felt fairly quickly that this was fishy as I remembered trying to get lucids shortly ago. Another thing I noticed was that it was deep night outside although it was early morning as I remembered. Now question that it all was a dream. So I did what I always do when I start a lucid in my room. I climb out the window and step on the roof to get outside. Well, outside did not exist today for some reason and all I could see was a black void. The situation was really odd. All that existed was the roof and the light coming out of my room surrounded by eternal blackness. I went to my knees and closed my eyes while saying "Come on, the lights out there need to turn on". I looked up again but I woke up before I could see the result... I woke up for a short time (for real) and the second false awakening followed. It all started out a bit different this time in a very interesting way. I was doing a handstand on a ball and had no problem with keeping my body in that position. I was thinking about how I wanted to have a lucid dream and in that second I thought "Wait, wait, wait.this IS a dream!". The first thing I did was turning the gravity upside down for me so that I levitated towards teh ceiling until I could safely stand on it. Again I left my room through the window normalising the gravity again so I do not just fly up into the sky without any control. It was very relaxing to see that the world existed now. It was early morning and I looked over the houses from my roof. Now it was time to collect my dream goals. Running at super speed seemed the easiest for now but for that I needed to get on the ground as the roof did not have much space to run around. Sure, nothing could happen to me but jumping down from this heigth was something I never did before. I tried to not worry a lot and just ran followed by a very wide jump. An amazing feeling! As I got nearer to the ground I slowed down a bit and levitated down. I was ready when... I was woken up by a dog barking loudly outside. THANKS DOG! This is why I usually do not use WILD For some reason I felt like I could easily do a WILD now. I decided to not move and simply drift back to sleep while staying aware as good as I could. Things went awfully fast. A few seconds and I could clearly see a Pantheon and barely sensed my waking body but all the hypnagogia annoyed me pretty much. Letters were flying around and noises appeared. I got into the dream completely now but I was still nervous and could not hold the dream for long in this state. Now I remember why I never use WILD usually.
