Thread: MysticalDipshit's Workbook

Hmmm... Yes well I hate to say it but having at least some mastery over fear is a part of lucid dreaming. Do you have frequent nightmares as well? I know from my experience that sometimes ones subconscious will throw up frightening images or scenarios. I think it's pretty normal. You just have to keep reminding yourself that it isn't real and nothing can harm you. I will have lucid nightmares once in a while and the thing that helps is to just keep calm and try to relax. Tell your self over and over it isn't real. Let the emotion go and the fear will fade.

Honestly I think meditation has helped me with this. I'm not super great at it but I have learned to be better at quieting my mind and becoming emotionally calm. Not only does this help in dream situations but in real life situations as well.

Another thing is maybe just grin a bear it. The more "Frightening" things you experience and live through the more you get used to it. So, the next time you will remember that it was all just in your own mind and nothing can happen to you. I guess you can call desensitizing yourself.

I don't know if that's very helpful but really it all comes down to controlling your thoughts and emotions. I really suggest meditation if you don't practice it already. It can really boost your lucidity as well as loads of other health benefits.

Edit: Also it might help to try visualizing something that is peaceful and feels safe to you.

I have listened to this out of curiosity and thought of it as a possible induction technique but maybe you can get some benefit from it. It's a free MP3 download called "Campfire for the Mind" and is aimed at conquering nightmares. I know you are not talking full blown nightmares here but maybe it will help?
