How often do lucid dreams turn into nightmares? Actually when I'm almost-lucid (I've never been really lucid) I usually wake up, and I know that if I didn't there would be a >50% possibility some nightmarish creature would appear, and because dreams are sooo realistic...

So, I wake up almost instantly, one time I saw my hand and saw 6 fingers and I woke up, it's a reflex that I learned when I was younger (8, 9 or 10 years more or less).

So, I have some questions, feel free to give short answers

1-How often a very fun or absolutely fantastic dream turn into a nightmare?

2-How often do you have false awakenings?

3-How often do those false awakenings turn into nightmares?

4-When you have a nightmare, how often you end unable to wake up (that is due to a lot of lucid dreaming experience) or having false awakenings?

5-How can I develop the ability to lucid dream while keeping my ability to escape nightmares? (Developing the ability to keep dreams nightmare-free is secondary)


Thanks in advance

I may be a little demanding now but if I start lucid dreaming I'll surely participate more in this forum
