Tutorial induced lucid dream (funny)

So I have been going through a dry spell and due to stress IRL my sleep schedule was a bit messed up. Last week I quit smoking and went over the initial paranoia, so now I am fixing up my sleep and felt a huge need to LD again after some time (almost 6 months since my last one but I wasn't trying).

So I found this subreddit (I was always in DV back in the day) and wrote a couple of tutorials. One for WILDing and one for Noobs and I spent the last 3-4 hours last night cleaning the house and answering questions in the tutorial. I really primed my subconscious well.

I went to bed and was super-confident I would LD!

I became Lucid looking at my hand (I did a subconscious RC) at some point in my dream. I was really young (maybe 18 or something) and I was a "virgin". There was a guy there (which was the real me I think) that was going to help me have my first sex. He summoned a nice girl out of a building and told me to go with her.

We held hands and went up to a balcony overlooking the city and the starry sky. We hugged and looked at the view. An interesting thing I really remember was that the stars in the sky were extremely bright and impressive, and I was pointing out constellation (I don't know anything about that IRL) and the animal or thing would highlight on the sky in this beautiful ochra/yellow color on the sky like in old maps. It was great.

So I forgot about sex and was just hugging and looking at the incredible view, when from the street below I hear explosions and something like drums (Bam Bam Bam, trtrtrtrtrtttt). There is a demonstration in the street downstairs and the people are coming through with drums up front - it's a glorious sight. (IRL my heating does this banging noise when it starts working and then the fan starts that sounds a bit like the beginning of a drum roll).

After that I kind of lost lucidity (got over-excited) and had a false awakening,

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR HAND WHEN YOU AWAKE - ALWAYS!

I didn't do a RC :( and I woke up in my old room in my parents house (haven't lived there for 10 years). Where I ensued to tell my parents I've been LDing but they were assholes (they are really nice IRL) and they were telling me I forgot to go and tell the guy that fixes the doors something etc. (I remembered upon waking that I have to go and make a second key for my door because my parents are visiting from out of town - thanks dream).

After that my alarm clock went off (that I had set for WILDing) and I woke up.


So I think that this LD was directly induced by me writing the tutorial and "guiding" some LD "virgins" towards their first LD. My subconscious appeared like older me, and my conscious for some reason like younger me (living with parents etc). Who knows... It was great fun though, very vivid and worth it just for the star-gazing...

Happy Dreaming!
