non dream - lucid - non lucid Continued from: <URL> Well, that last dream was quite something. I cannot sleep. I take my book again and read a few more pages. For some reason I feel like trying another WILD, even though the last one went... quite wrong? <PERSON>, whatever, if I have another nightmare I will just end it again. I slowly go into SP. I see little light flashes. I imagine the lights being stars of the sky. I am standing on the beach at dusk or dawn, looking at the stars in the sky. Damnit, how did I transition? I can never remember. Why is it so easy sometimes, and sometimes I cannot manage at all? Is this another nightmare? No. It feels very pleasant. I stabilize the dream by rubbing my hands and grabbing a handful of sand from the beach. I slowly let the sand drop through my fingers. Feels nice! I suddenly remember that I had music in my last dream, and that it was so very vivid. I wonder if I can create background music in any dream? I imagine hearing music, but it does not start playing in the dream. Suddenly, I get an idea I know has to work. I reach into my left pocket, trying to summon my mobile phone with a pair of headphones. Success! I put on the headphones. (they are the earplug kind) I turn the display of my mobile on, it already has a music player loaded. I am presented with the typical buttons "Artists, <PERSON>" etc. However, there is a button which is not there in waking life: "Auto". "Auto"? That sounds cool. I press it and put the mobile back into my pocket. I start walking on the beach. Music starts playing. It is some kind of ambient trance, very soft. It fits the current scene immensely well. I am very pleased and note that the clarity of the dream greatly increases. Holy shit! this is awesome! I got to remember this! I wonder if the music will always fit the setting of the dream. (The "Auto" setting makes me think it will) I quickly summon a portal, again as if I had done it a hundred times. This time I do not even do the whole procedure, I use a shortcut. I basically open the portal by drawing the bubble with my energy instead of my fingers and just give it a flick to open it up. The whole thing just takes a split second. I am surprised that I just did this without even thinking about it, but I am happy that I managed to do so. I want the portal to lead to a scene where dramatic music would fit. (I am a big fan of cinematic trailer music) The portal opens and I step through. I am on a ship. An airship. Well, just a flying ship really. I am on the deck feeling the air pushing against my skin as the ship navigates between very high buildings. It is not a modern or sci-fi scene though, it is very fantasy like. I hear dramatic music this time. Very fitting yet again. I try to identify the piece of music but I cannot. I am not sure if I have even heard it before. The dream suddenly ends.
