    Well, that last dream was quite something.
    I can't 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?
    Meh, whatever, if I have another nightmare I'll just end it again.

    I slowly go into SP.
    I see little light flashes. I imagine the lights being stars of the sky.

    I'm 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 can't 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 doesn't 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're the earplug kind)
    I turn the display of my mobile on, it already has a music player loaded.
    I'm presented with the typical buttons "Artists, Albums" etc.
    However, there's a button which isn't 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's some kind of ambient trance, very soft. It fits the current scene immensely well.
    I'm very pleased and note that the clarity of the dream greatly increases.
    Holy shit! this is awesome! I gotta 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 don't 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'm surprised that I just did this without even thinking about it, but I'm happy that I managed to do so.
    I want the portal to lead to a scene where dramatic music would fit. (I'm a big fan of cinematic trailer music)

    The portal opens and I step through.
    I'm on a ship. An airship. Well, just a flying ship really.
    I'm on the deck feeling the air pushing against my skin as the ship navigates between very high buildings.
    It's not a modern or sci-fi scene though, it's very fantasy like.
    I hear dramatic music this time. Very fitting yet again. I try to identify the piece of music but I can't.
    I'm not sure if I've even heard it before.

    The dream suddenly ends.

      That is SO COOL!!! I will have to remember that, too. I love having appropriate music for events in real life, and having it in a dream would be awesome! Just curious: what brand of mobile phone do you have? Was the Auto button an image on a touchscreen, or an actual button?

      Wow, background music fitting a dream! This sounds amazing...

      It's a samsung i8910 (touchscreen).
      The music player has a list of buttons for song selection, and "Auto" was the first one for some reason.
      It looked like it belonged there, at first I didn't even realize it wasn't there in waking life.
      I was actually searching for the "Random" button, hoping that would play fitting music, but I found the "Auto" button instead.

      That's cool! I had a dream about a blimp about two months ago. It was a war blimp.
