      Night time feara

      Hey guys!
      I have a bit of a problem. Throughout the day I am really hyped about lucid dreaming. I basically just can't wait for my next one. However as the day progresses and it is eventually nearly time for me to get to bed and begin my dreams, I just get really nervous which then turns into fear. I'm not really sure what I'm afraid of. I think its the fact I'm thinking about how different it feels from reality. I really think that this fear is holding me back from more lucids. The only ones I have really got is when I wasn't expecting them so I didn't feel the fear sensation. Has anyone ever experienced something similar or has any advice for me on how to overcome this silly night time fear?
      Any opinion would be appreciated, thanks
      Zhume.

      Hmm the only one who can answer this question is you. So you need to ask youself: What are you afraid of?

      I mean is it the fear of the unknown or is it something else.

      And here is a quote that might motivate you - “Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.” - By some smart guy

      Face the fear then overcome it.

      I felt like this until about half a month ago, one day I just decided to 'confront' my fears and just do everything as i would do it during the day.
      Now the fear just isn't there.
      MasterMind, Crashyy and paigeyemps like this.

      The other posters are correct. I think one of the best things about lucid dreaming is you can use it to face your fears. I have gotten over a few of mine through lucidity, and I hope you can do the same.

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.
