Thread: My First Intentional Lucid Dream!

Okay, so I have been having lucid dreams ever since I was really young, but they weren't intentional and I kept waking up. But last night I really had an awesome, vivid dream. The lucidity lasted for about 20 - 30 minutes so I am very happy!
Okay, so the dream started with my school and my friends in a class. I accepted that this was reality so the dream kept on rollin'. After about an hour, I had a false awakening in my own bed. I also quickly wrote in my dream journal! Then after that, somehow I realized I was dreaming, (Don't ask me how ) and the dream scene changed from my room to my school. I quickly told myself to calm down and not panic. Afterwards, I tested out telekinesis on a book and it worked like a charm! I was so damn happy! So I quickly went to my Dream Friends and told them what I could do. And it turned out that one of my friends had the power to shoot a highly concentrated laser out of his chest. So I tried that and succeeded. I also tried to shoot out a cold ion beam from my hands and I succeeded at that too
So, after getting comfortable, I decided to go to the school gym and levitate a dumbbell and throw it at this girl I hated. Only I couldn't really throw it at her, so it hit her toe instead Then the girl screamed out in agony. I laughed a little and she must have seen me and realized that I was the one who hurt her toe. So the girl started running towards me and I dodged. I tried to levitate her or at least push her but my powers wouldn't activate!
The dream ended after that... Anyone have any ideas as to why my powers wouldn't work?
