All you can do is convince yourself to relax or "get over it." I've had panic attacks (induced by fear of having panic attacks) so I know how you feel. Eventually I got so tired of feeling that way, exhausted my mind. So I got over it, it was a waste of time and thinking. Stop thinking about the bad things that might happen. You're not going to be injured or anything. Some people actually like the sensations. I certainly like the visual effects. Try repeating some affirmations during a deeply relaxed state to help rid your fear, it helped me. No matter what you'll be fine, just loosen up. Focus on your goal: lucid dreaming! How awesome is that?!
