A long time ago, I got into Lucid Dreaming. I tried multiple techniques, but MILD works the best for me.

I know this is supposedly common but,

The first time I tried WILD, about a year ago, I went into SP, and had an OBE. A tall shadowy cloaked figure slowly opened my door and walked into my room. I was floating over my bed, and couldn't move. My body was still in my bed, and I watched as the figure slowly walked over to my sleeping body. When it got there, I was suddenly flung back into my sleeping body. I looked up at the door and it was back in the doorway just staring at me.

I jolted awake, and ran to the door, turned the lights on, and sat with my back against the door for a good 10 minutes to calm down and think about what happened.

It was so realistic. That was the last time I tried WILD. I've always used MILD since then.

I'm so paranoid about seeing that thing again, I didn't want to WILD. I know nothing can hurt you in your dreams, but just the fact that it was so vivid and I couldn't do anything about it made it scary.

I really want to WILD, but I'm just very scared. MILD and DILD are easy, but are sometimes unreliable.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get rid of this thing and/or my fear?
