I have had this in Lucid Dreams, in the beginning when I started smoking Marijuana and when doing Psilocybin Mushrooms. However I have learned not to Fear the altered Perceptions in intense Spiritual Experiences be it Dreams, Mushrooms trips or a Marijuana Buzz.
Here's my advice. Take this subject of Altered Perception in your mind, give it some thought and find out why you react with FEAR to it. Keep in mind that it is not a ''fearfull'' experience. It is a STRANGE experience, unlike any other consciously experienced perception, not Good nor Bad. If it feels strange it is instinct to feel Fear initially, because what we don't know may possibly hurt us right?
Just know that no matter how Psychotic your dream/psychedelic Experience may be, it will always end and at one point return to ''normal'' again. No effort is needed. Just go with the flow. No m,atter how intensely strong, wild and impressive the experience is; Go with it and let it take you where ever it leads to. Knowing there is no need to fear getting ''stuck'' in this Altered state of Awareness and Perception.
If you have maneged to Teach yourself that, whih can be quite a task, then your Strange lucid dreams, even your Nightmares, will become ''WONDERS'' and you'll experience them with Joy.
It al depends on what you THINK of it and how you react to it.
