Hi, I just joined this site so hi

Last nite, I lucid dreamed for the first time, it was very short though. I was in a basement and sitting on the floor and a woman that I work with was sitting in front of me really close to my face, then I dont know how I figured it out, but I realized I was dreaming, so I looked at her in the face and said "This is a dream" but it took me forever to actually say the word dream, I was trying to get it out of my throat but it came out as just mumbling.

Anyway, after I said it she just shook her head slowly then I felt like I was suffocating and woke up. Any similar experiences?
