And now I have found out about lucid dreaming,and it sounds amazing, but I am afraid to get lucid.What should I do?

Lucidity actually enables you to deal with nightmares in the best possible way. Read Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge. One of the chapters explains how to overcome nightmares. In a nutshell, the solution lies in confronting whatever scares you.
