Fear...

[Siav]

I have to say, while I'm intensely excited to have an LD, I find myself scared. What if I lose control and it turns into a realistic nightmare? Have any of you had intensely scary experiences like that? Anyways..just some help would be nice.

Usually when you lose control in an LD, it immediately causes you to wake up, the dream fades and you find yourself back in your own bed. That phenomenon that you speak of usually works in reverse for me. Ie, i'm already in the grip of a nightmare, i realise i'm dreaming, and then i either control it or wake myself up, depending on which is easiest. Hope this helps, PM me if you have any more questions.
