I have some questions to whomever can answer....I've been attempting to gain lucidity for a few months now...I've been succesful once with the WILD technique, but the experience was quite startling. i immediately stopped and couldn't sleep for about two days, just because of Fear.

Now I've been ready many posts about fear and how this new and "unknown" experience of lucid dreaming can at first facilitate some irrational anxiety, but I'm still having some problems getting past this...

here are my questions....

1) what are some methods you used to overcome these fears/anxieties in order to become adept at entering the LD?

2) are there any negative reprocussions to lucid dreaming? Has anybody in here had negative experiences while awake due to LDing? and if so, are they worth continuing with LDs?

It's very frustrating that fear is the only feasible reason i haven't been able to explore this, i want this very bad, but i need some words of wisdom i guess..thanks
