I'm trying to use use Lucid Dreaming as a way to overcome real life phobias. I've read that you can overcome nightmares by facing your fear but can this be done for phobias as well? It seems reasonable that all real life fears are a learned response to a situation. What you believe to be dangerous. So I'm just thinking that if fear is in the mind only, then it can be looked at in a different way subconsciously. A bit like 'Do It Yourself Hypnotherapy - whilst sleeping'.

Does anyone know if I'm on the right lines or give any input?
