Inducing nightmares while lucid? Just give up control while remembering it's a dream. Go along with the plot, doing RCs along the way.

And it'll be way more scary in a LD because you'll be aware of whats happening. And once you actually get scared, you'll start spiraling because you'll expect bad things to happen without knowing you're just going to create those bad things, and this effect collapses in upon itself plunging you deeper and deeper into the imaginative hell that is your subconscious.

Have fun!
