false awakening

I get out of bed and realize I'm dreaming. At first I start to narrate my experience to myself to help me focus but I begin to worry about waking my girlfriend irl (I realize this is irrational now) I begin walking through the house and enter a living room. I start trying to open a portal, Dr Strange style by moving my hands in a circle, nothing happens. Then I decide I'll try to summon a sling ring to aid me in opening the portal. I reach for it on the couch beside me but I feel nothing but the couch. I think for a second and look around. I see this lamp on the table with a bunch of small lights that are all different colors. I hold my hand up so that it blocks my view of a few of the small lights. When I move my hand several of the lights have changed color and shape. I experiment with this a few times and each time the lights are different. I'm able to change the colors of the lights at will. This gives me an idea. I look at a far wall and hold my hand up blocking my view of a large portion of the wall. I imagine that behind my hand on the wall is a portal that leads to the beach. I lower my hand and there is a black portal with a shimmering iridescent surface. I run at full speed and lunge through it.

I plunge through into darkness and immediately begin looking for and feeling around for sand. After a couple moments I feel it and it begins to appear. I'm on the ground looking straight down at the sand. I now look for water to begin rushing in with the tide and it does. I look up to find myself in a beach scene! (This is a huge success, I've been attempting this for the last couple months) I'm super excited and laughing with joy at my success. However I maintain my attention on my surroundings to keep from losing track of the dream. I leap in the air and begin bouncing along this giant pipeline that is running into the ocean. It seems the longer I'm on it the bigger it gets. As I follow it out into the ocean I reach some kind of machine that is connected to it that is around 3 to 5 stories tall. I fly over it to the other side and there is grass instead of ocean. I fly up the side of a brick wall and lose lucidity at this point. This last part is a little hazy but I remember cooking a bunch of fish. I start to tell my GF and a friend about my dream. My GF asks me before I begin telling it if I was lucid and I say yes. She says she could tell because she could hear me! Anyways I tell them the dream and wake

Me and W are listening to music on a tablet. She leaves the room and I start looking for a different song to put on. She comes back in and tells me she wants to show me something cool on a video game. She hits something on the tablet and things start coming out of the ground. All of a sudden the area we are in is much bigger than before. It's like we are inside the video game. I see this giant monster and I shoot it with a rifle that puts this large metal ring around the monster, basically tying it up and slowing it down. I think to myself I need to hurry up and kill it before it gets free. I go to shoot but I'm out of ammo. I swap weapons but it's out as well. The monster breaks free and morphs into a blue rhino. It charges at me and W. I realize that me and W are about to cornered into this room it's pushing us to. I take my rifle and push it against the rhino's horn and try to hold him back but he's way stronger than I am. As I'm struggling against him, he's slowly moving us more and more into this room that I'm trying to avoid. Then I think to myself, just imagine pushing him is effortless and so I do. I push as hard as I can while imagining he's weak and weightless. The rhino goes flying out of sight like a rag doll. I'm excited by this and I start low gravity jumping and flying around the building we're in.

I'm no longer worried about being out of ammo cause I know I can handle whatever comes my way. I exit the building thru these barn like double doors. Once outside I jump about three stories into the air and I can see on top of the roof to the building I was just in. I kinda linger in the air for a sec and it hits me that this is a dream. I think to myself oh shit, ok stay calm…what is it that I want to do. Before I barely finish the thought I lunge forward into the air flying. But then I remember that I've had problems with cutting my lucids short in the past by going straight to flying and so I land and take a breath. I start with some little low gravity jumps and then transition into some low altitude flying. This seems to be working and I'm actually able to enjoy flying without immediately having the dream fade to black. However, I'm having trouble staying steady. As I fly my altitude is going up and down. I accidentally go thru the street, as in underground and then pop back up into the air, but I think because of going underground I expected darkness. Which caused my dream to start fading. I tried to hang on by looking at my hands, which kinda worked for a second but then the dream shortly faded.

I thought I had woke up. I was in a dream version of my bedroom. I realized W wasn't in bed and I heard a noise in the hallway like the gate at the top of the stairs opening. I went to go into the hall to check it out, but then I found there was a gate inside the room before the door (which isn't there irl). The door and the gate were getting caught up in each other and I couldn't get the door open…Wake
