Welcome to the class, Valor!

From your description, it sounds to me that you were able to have a lucid dream, so congrats! One of the issues with wilds is that since you start in a dark room with eyes closed and transition to the dream straight away, the dream environment naturally starts from a darker background. It takes a bit for the dreaming mind to build the scene.

At any rate great job so far. For you next attempt, I would suggest trying a different visualization - maybe a very green meadow or a sunny beach and try interacting with the enviroment as much as possible.
