I Had a Lucid Dream

So last night I had a pretty amazing dream. My crush was in it, the same boy I've been crushing on but unable to see since school ended. In the dream he revealed to me that he had some feelings, and we held hands and he put his head on my shoulder and we just kind of took in each other's essences. But my dream ended. I had to walk the dog or she would have been on my bed crying nonstop.

I went back into my bed, tired as hell, and thought about that dream. Before I knew it, I was able to immerse myself back into that dream with my crush. The dream's location seemed to shift from my mom's house, to my great-grandparents' house, to a classroom in school...it was all over the place, but the dream revolved around me and my crush. But...I lost control of my dream. It didn't go like how I wanted it to.

I was still aware that I was dreaming but I couldn't stop the events that were happening. My crush started to distance himself, he started to avoid me, and I was so upset! My dream ended sometime later and I wanted to continue it to change how it went but I couldn't fall back asleep. I had dreamed from six in the morning till twelve, so I couldn't sleep anymore.

So upset, but still kinda happy that I was able to keep this dream going for as long as I did. Hoping to have another one tonight. Any tips on how to start of with a lucid dream?
