Pretty nice start. I can't help empathising with his shame when he remembers the cringey things he said as a child, lol. I suppose everyone has some of those memories.
This is really a tiny nitpick, but I hardly think that a little girl has the strength for a "crushing" hug. You might want to consider another word, such as "tight" or "firm."
I've had a lucid dream just once in my life. It only lasted for like a second, I woke up immediately after I realised I was in a dream, but strangely I was in really good mood all day after that. I heard lucid dreams tend to do that.
Anyway, your writing is good and your premise is something I'm interested in, so I'll be following this story. Hurry up and write more. 😂
