Hopefully not I figured it might be because I'm not that used to it that much yet but we'll see in the future.

I backed out of one of mine because I was thinking creepy thoughts, like if I turned around something outta a horror movie would be there. Even though I've only had a few (and they were amazing) there was quite an eery vibe to them like you've said.

I guess with further experience you'll get used to things and feel more comfortable with the surroundings in your dreams.

well i can separate my dreams into 3 diffferent types of control

3rd person
3rd person lucid
lucid

3rd person is where im just dreaming and sort of "Watching" myself live the dream as if it was happening

3rd person lucid..is when my 3rd person being...the person im "watching"...becomes aware of the dream and trys to become lucid but cant...and im watching my dream self do this....but its still part of the 3rd person aspect where im not in controll at all...im just dreaming about having a lucid dream..

and lucid is where im in controll...cant quite do anything yet...got to think more like...oh i want her to come from around the corner....not....hey come on out of the oven....

well idk if i did anything to answer ur question but ill be on here more often..c ya guise around

I've had lucid dreams where it feels they'll turn into nightmares. Usually I try and leave for someplace else: if I'm getting that feeling in my home, I'll go to the mall or someplace. I also try my best to focus on something else, though any regular LDer probably knows that isn't always easy. Your strategy of doing a reality check every time you awaken is a good one-once you build up the habit, you'll recover many false awakenings into LDs-trust me, there is nothing more satisfying! I find its easier to stay in a dream if I'm always doing something, also. Where you actively engaged in a lively conversation, or just milling around? Bradysdreaming is right, by the way. You probably won't get a "headache" again.
