Hi everyone, I'm a guy who's occasionally busy trying to achieve lucid dreaming for a few years now. Sometimes I try almost every day, sometimes I forget it for several weeks. Despite this, the thought of lucid dreaming creeps me out every now and then. When I'm actually lucid dreaming, I'm pretty calm and a little bit excited. But when I'm awake, thinking of lucid dreaming gives me the feeling that I can never trust the world to be real and that my scared thoughts may become reality if I lose focus.

My first lucid experience caused a terrible nightmare to happen, but I've also had several amazing, positive lucid experiences. I now know how to handle sleep paralysis without much trouble. Still, I literally get goosebumps from the thought of lucid dreaming, how is this possible?
