No problem, its actually pretty common to have some fear or at least a little bit of nervousness when first starting out; from what I have experienced at least. You are starting to open the doors to a whole new world of sensations and possibilities and the journey down that road holds many glorious things but it also quite possibly could hold quite a few unnerving things as well. As long as you always keep in mind that experiencing these new sensations, and seeing the many wild and wonderful things that you might see... is completely safe, then you should eventually come to grips with your fears no matter the origin, and accept them for what they are and of course hopefully you will eventually learn to overcome these fears. After all, knowledge is power. Do your research and use your new found information to back the fears into a corner so they are more manageable, or better yet.. Make them disappear! |

Hey! |

Yeah, as far as i know fear is pretty common in people who's starting out, unless they are used to 'unusual' things one way or another before starting. What i would suggest is to not think about your fears when lucid dreaming, think about things that are good for you. |
|
Yeah, it is normal to be fearful of the unknown, I try to change my mindset. I see these things as interesting, fun and new. That might remove the fearful thoughts. |

My first LD looked like the scene from insidious where the man astral projects for the first time. When WILD I know im dreaming because the world turns grey and demonic. So yes, I'm terrified. But I love it too much to give it up. I am VERY prone to nightmares. Nearly all of my dreams are nightmares. But I'm learning to control it better. The only LD's I have that aren't super spooky are the DILDs where I'm having a happy dream then realize im dreaming. Just remember there is nothing going to happen in a dream that you can't control. You are the master of your mind. There is nothing in a LD that can hurt you unless you think it will. |

Aww, thanks guys. Everybody on here is so friendly! |

I had them naturally a couple times, so I was never scared. My dreams can get scary in the dark but it's better when I'm lucid. I find that when I'm afraid, it's not a fear of the dream, but of a deeper fear manifesting itself. Not in a psychobabble Freudian "deeper feeling" way, but of something like being afraid of the dark. |

Yeah, checker and elucid, when I think about all the amazing things that could happen, it makes me a lot less scared and just really excited to get LD'ing. |
