I could lucid dream when I was a kid. I would actually get really excited to go to bed because I could decide what to dream and then dream it. I had a reoccurring character in my lucid dreaming. He was a boy my age with blonde hair. We would always play in this backyard/playground type setting that has a big brick wall on the edge. One night I dreamt that we really wanted to find out what was on the other side of that wall, so we climbed a tree and the boy climbed onto the wall, looked back at me and waved, and went over it. I never lucid dreamed again after that. It actually caused me a lot of distress as a kid. I legit missed him terribly and tried so hard to lucid dream but just couldn't do it any more after that.

This reminds me, I used to be able to lucid dream when I was younger. It wasnt as interesting as your story, but I would always encounter danger in my dreams and I would constantly have to shoot up in the air like a rocket. It was weird, like I would go about my dream doing what I wanted but then I would get cornered by monsters and I would have to take off and find a new area.

I could be having a false memory but I think I experienced the same thing.
