A very tall figure

Hey everyone. This is my first share. I have been reading some posts for a couple months now and after having 2 lucid dreams I thought I would join this forum and share. Enjoy. I had 2 lucid dreams last night. Both of them, I was lucid and realized I was dreaming right when the dreams started. I also never did any reality checks, but I guess I did not need them. The first dream I was walking somewhere and the wall next to me just seemed so vibrant and a bell rang in my head.(I had a previous dream where a wall appeared to be vibrant so this was a small dream sign) I thought to myself "I am dreaming!" Except I said out loud...I am awake. And I kept saying it. I rubbed my hands together and then up and down my body to make sure I really grounded myself. I saw a guy walking in the same direction as me and at first I was going to just ignore him. Then I decided that since I was dreaming why not just spark up a conversation. So I turned to him and told him that I was awake...(not dreaming) He looked confused. I actually reached my hands out and touched his face to and it felt real. Like a human face. He was tall, had to be at least 7 feet tall. I said it a few more times and told him I wanted to yell it. Part of me thought that I would wake up my wife, but I knew I was dreaming so she would not hear me. So I yelled...I AM AWAKE!!! He looked like he wanted to laugh at me (I know why now) Then he said to me, well ok then why do not you follow me, but I did not want to. I was excited and I just wanted to explore this strange world that I was is. It was bright and there was a sandy feel to it and there were steps made out of sandstone color. I told him no thanks I think I want to go this way (left up the stairs) and he went right...no stairs. So I jogged up the stairs and they turned to the left and what do you know...this guys was right there. Both ways went to the same place. I was a little annoyed and I said again...I am awake. And this woke me up 2nd dream. I was sitting in a room with my legs crossed and eyes closed. I could hear some noises. I believe this happened shortly after my first dream and I knew again that I was dreaming. This time I said, "I am dreaming" I tried to open my eyes, but could not see anything. I was patient as I wanted to make sure I did not open up my real eyes. I said it again, "I am dreaming" and I put my hands over my eyes and told them to open. Slowing they started to open. I saw flashes of random images at first and then everything started to become clear. I was sitting in front of a large TV that was not on. I started to look around and to my left there were two ladies sitting and talking. As my vision became clear, I recognized the one on the left. It was <PERSON> from Jersey Shore. I was so disappointed that I just turn away and demanded I wake up. I woke up shortly after.
