For the past couple of years, usually when I try to gain further control of my lucidity in a dream, I am faced with a menacing entity in some shape or form that prevents me from expanding lucidity.
I once remember a dream where I was walking along adventurous paths through heavy woods and having a feeling of a greater awareness and felt if I could just continue on the paths and reach the destination, I would achieve full consciousness in the dream and could go wherever and do whatever I desired.
But a wolf appears on the path, and tries to intimidate me with it's teeth and deep growl.

I am a believer in the Law of Attraction and that whatever thoughts you have, will manifest. I must not worry or focus on my fear of the unknown and I need to just roll with it. It is much easier said than done.

Sometimes when I'm faced with a closed door in a dream, I focus too much on the thought of "I don't want there to be something scary on the other side of this door" and just thinking that thought, makes me hesitate on opening the door because I am focused on a negative thought that could manifest in my dream if I don't stop thinking about it. So I try to change my thought pattern and usually the entire dream changes as a result and I find myself distracted with new surroundings or scenarios and completely forgetting that I am in a dream.

My hope is that just writing this before bed will give me the courage to face the unknown and unlock a much deeper realm of lucid dreaming to be able to be able to dip into more experiences of it's infinite possibilities.

If there are others out there who have found tricks or would just like to share their experience on how they got over their fear of the unknown in the dream realm, please share
