Every time I end up in a lucid dream, I get scared and try to yank myself out. I'm not sure why I'm scared but apparently it runs in my family to have OOBE's while lucid dreaming. (My older sister admitted that it happens to her). How do others get over the fear? I don't want to have an OOBE- I have had a couple in the past and it was too scary for me. Once I felt myself flung up into the air from my bed at the fastest speed you could imagine. Another time I had one when I was actually awake.

Anyway, how do I get over the fear? And when anyone here has had a lucid nightmare, how do you get out of it? I can usually force myself out of a lucid dream but it takes time- can't do it right away.
