Hey Joi
Welcome! Sounds like you are indeed a natural lucid dreamer, and I'm pretty sure that we can help you make them as positive as the rest of us view them!!
For starters, I think that you should do as much reading as you can on reality checks(http://www.dreamviews.com/community/....php?p=1057431 , http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ead.php?t=4470), which are little tests you can do that usually indicate that you are dreaming.
*One reality check is to look at your hands, as they'll often appear strangely colored, slightly deformed, or with extra or fewer fingers on them.
*Another is to attempt to push the finger of one hand through the palm of the other- in a dream, it will go right through. This goes for any solid objects.
*Another is to pinch your nose and close your mouth, and inhale through your nose. In a dream, you will experience breathing even though you shouldn't, which can be a clear indicator that you are dreaming.
*Also, digital clocks and any sort of writing usually are not stable and will be illegible or change if you look at them in a dream, so if you suspect you're dreaming and look at some text, look away, look again, look away, look again, it should help you determine if you're awake or not. Those are my personal favorite reality checks.
*Other ones that I've read about are gently biting the tip of your tongue and trying to jump/fly (usually you will float down or something else strange).
This sounds like your best bet, as well as reading about dream control. I recommend http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=38954 and http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=57283 . That way, if something bad is going on and they're trying to convince you it's not real, you can reality check and prove to yourself that they're the crazy ones Also, if you work on dream control and expecting your dream characters (DCs) to be friendly, that should change their behavior. Panicking and other negative emotions do seem to cause your dream to take a turn for the worse, so remaining calm, knowing that it is just a dream, and finding unique and usually fun ways around these situations may make lucid dreaming better for you
Best of luck, and if you found that helpful and have any more questions please feel free to ask
