The reason why those hallucinations are scary for you is most likely because you expect them to be scary.
It's much better to change your attitude towards the hallucinations instead of fearing and avoiding them, and realize that the hallucinations are in fact completely natural (they are kind of like building blocks for dreams) and that they can actually be quite beautiful and fantastic if you are fascinated by them instead of thinking of them as a threat.
Besides, that method of entering lucid dreams is just one of many, many others, and one of the most natural ways to get lucid dreams is to simply firmly decide before you go to bed that you are going to recognize that you are dreaming later that night.

Trust me, I think it is fascinating and I dont WANT to be frightend, I just am. PS. I have been experiencing waking up at exactly 3AM without a alarmclock or anything, does this have anything to do with this at all?
