lucid dreaming

a couple nights ago i had a dream that this guy i knew (in the dream) had one of those long death lock things, all i remember about his hair was that i was sitting on my bed at uni and he had his head on my shoulder, and his hair was really soft (i realised this was because i slept on my fluffy pillow that night) and i was just feeling it against my jaw/cheek.
THEN we zoomed to orpington, in a big white van, driving with loads of people, i was with a girl i knew and the rest guys (these people were all made up in my dream)
they tried teaching me how to ride a bike, but i refused...some of them went driving round on a motorcycle while the rest of us sat in the van eating, and it was freezing. Then at one point i got up and (i have this thing about running) i said i need to run, so he agreed to run with me and we started running down this street (which is the one near newstead and the station with the huuumongus hill)
then i stopped because i had won, and there was a man walking his dog, and i turned around and at that second the man let lose this dog
(which looked like a dog we used to have in Trinidad, except the real one was really softcore and this was a mega-hardcore-beast)
so i faced the boy and i was like 'stop running', and he just laughed and though he didn't turn around, he knew the dog was there, and as the dog jumped up to bite him he just turned to the side and the dog ignored him and came towards me. And then at this point i realised it was a dream, so i told myself to stop it, but the dog still came at me. So i thought ok, do that lucid thinking crap but it just didn't work. the dog came up to me and i did the turny thing like the guy before did, but it came up and bit my back. And you don't feel pain in dreams but this sharp pain hit my back and i remember feeling really shocked, and in the dream there was all this blood, and the dog was tearing at my back, then i finally woke up.
I got up straight away and felt my back and nothing hurt, how weird is that, how did i feel pain in a dream and nothing had actually caused that pain?
i had another dream after that, and it was just this large strong piece of metal floating in the air,and i could make it bend by thinking about it, (like magneto innit) and i made all these weird shapes, and i made it look like people i knew and i remember laughing alot.
then i made it into a slide without meaning or wanting to and somehow i started sliding down it head first and i was really scared because there was nothing at the end, and i woke myself up.

ima rant more.just because.
when i was younger, and til maybe a year ago, i had this one recurring dream and it was from when i was told we were leaving trinidad onwards. In the dream i 'woke up' and this guy was tapping at the window and i opened it. He was totally silver, didnt have a face. hmm just realised he didnt have a voice but we somehow communicated... and id sit by the air conditioning unit just talking to him until i fell asleep in the dream and then really woke up.
Then in england they stopped for a while because i only had nightmares, but in one nightmare he zoomed past and i hated him.
then we started 'talking' again, but not the same as before because i was older i guess, and hated dreams. (ha do i sound like a right retard? rytz retardz liek)
lalala then i had dreams where he didnt knock, hed just literally come right in, and it was nice but weird. And then in one dream i said "i wish you had the face of someone i like talking to", and he just kind of nodded, and i "fell asleep" and away he went
whooooooosssh

ive had a few dreams about real people recently, more than ever but i hate them, because when i wake up and realise it WAS just a dream, i get a little sad, but more hopefull, maybe
ok i got loads of shorthand to draw
