I recently had a lucid dream in which I had a ton of awareness. I was looking at the ocean, and I began to get scared. I knew that it was fake, but it looked and felt SO real. I know it can't hurt me, I know it can't kill me. Yet, I still have a tiny bit of fear over it. The way I look at it is, if I get scared in the dream... all hell breaks loose. The ocean will devour me, sharks and giant monsters will attack me, etc. It'll basically turn into a nightmare.

So, how do you get over this? KNOWING it can't hurt or do anything to you, yet still being afraid of things. It's like jumping off a building in real life, except that you won't get hurt at the bottom. It looks and feels so real it confuses your brain.
