Lucid dream - concert with old friend

Date: 8/31/2016

So I’m in a big crowd and there is a lot of loud music. Everyone is heading towards a building that the music is coming from so I assume there is a big concert about to start. Not sure who’s performing and don’t really remember what type of music it was. Felt like hip/hop. As everyone is heading towards the building, I am going the opposite way and determined to get there. For some reason I felt that need to go that way. I finally make it to the back of the crowd and I see two people that I know. Only one of them actually looks familiar in real life, but I have the feeling that I know both of them. So I go up to the one that I actually know and tell him that this is awesome. And he agreed “Yes, this is awesome”. I say. “NO. This is awesome!” He says “I know” I say “Do you know why this is awesome?” He says “Yea, we are going to see **** perform” (couldn’t make out the name). I say “NO, it’s awesome because I’m dreaming” He says “ok” I say “I'm dreaming, do you know why that’s awesome” He says “NO” I say “Because that means we can do anything we want” Once I complete this sentence, everything went black. Complete loss of vision. I could still hear the crowd and the music, but couldn’t see anything. After learning about loss of vision in dreams I was able to remain calm. I knew I was dreaming and all I had to do is just open my eyes or realized that I could see. I took a deep breath and told myself that I could see and my vision started to come back. I blinked a few times to make it clear, started to look around and all the sudden....MY DOG WOKE ME UP!!! It was a great experience actually knowing I was awake. Not sure why I had to go tell someone I was dreaming and actually didn't know I was going to say that until I started talking. It's almost like I wasn't really in control until I said it.
