Lucid dreaming?

I have been trying to change up some things in my life. Small things, like a night-time routine and what time I should actually go to bed and trying to truly pay attention to what thoughts and/or visions do I see before my body relaxes into sleep-land. What are the last things, or words am I speaking to myself.
Since I can remember, I could always see something in my minds-eye, like life movie reels or 3D worlds come alive (i.e. the library with an infinite cascade of stars above me, or some different infinite space-like places - with different manufacturing technological boards, etc.) when I close my eyes. What if these are messages from my own subconscious or others astral projecting into my energy? Still to this day it happens quite often, but now it’s sometimes sprinkled with people’s faces that I have or have not met, or pretty mystical lights that swirl and morph into shapes and multiple colors. There have been times in my life where I truly hated that my brain did this for reasons that I would rather not get into. Those vague memories are quite downers, in my opinion. However, in days now, my intrigue is piqued instead of irritated.
Maybe this is not a good idea to try and decipher messages from just mundane brain firings of a very exhausted mind at the end of the day. There have been several times where I was told my daydreaming and imagination are tremendously big and should be dampened. So, maybe this is a way I can let it run free. There is a side that would love to have records of what happens (like visual and sound, and a way to feel the same feelings and emotions as in those moments) to then go back and analyze, reassess and come to somewhat of a conclusion about what is truly there.
Many have said to place a sleep journal next to my bed so then I could do the recording after I wake up. But that is the problem, it becomes vague and I lose details that are important, or things said in the dream-state are lost to the ether. Or, I begin writing and I can’t get it all down before real life takes over. Even when I have tried writing things down before falling asleep, the “trance” (not sure what else to call it, the in-between state of wake and sleep) is broken and the world, place, event is not able to be accessed again.
So, whatever is happening to my mind at that time I will let it just be and be present in those moments. It gives my life a bit more color than it has. Whether I continue to try and analyze what comes to me or just leave it, I know I am blessed to have such a beautiful imagination and day(night)-dreaming abilities. And if it is someone astral projecting themselves into my energy, I have a message for you; be more specific, don’t cause pain and speak from your truth.
