Did someone tell you that lucid dreaming causes nightmares? If so, they are wrong.

If anything, LD'ing is a useful tool for combatting nightmares, because lucidity affords you the opportunity to face them down with the courage of waking-life consciousness.

Any scary situation you might find yourself in while lucid is caused by something other than the lucidity, so there is no need to worry that your lucid dream will bring about a nightmare.

Your OP was a bit vague, so if I completely misunderstood, then never mind!
