I have been afraid at times too. I have heard a technique of standing up to the scary thing. I have heard this makes it go away. Remember, nothing can hurt you in a dream...you are always safe. I will try the courage, turn about and face up to a scary thing the next time this happens. Ask it what it wants. Usually, I just fly away but this leaves me with a residual not so good feeling...like it may still be lurking about. I pretty much do this in real life too. Hmmmm. What is this type of dream telling me? Darn these mirror of dreams...I always have to look at myself and improve some character flaw!
