Hi OmegaAlpha, welcome to Dreamviews!

Congrats on your lucid dream! Yeey, you had 7 fingers. That always surprises the heck out of me.

It sounds like your lucid is what we call a DILD - a lucid dream, that starts from within a regular dream. As you have experienced yourself, there is nothing scary waiting for you in your LD. Sure, it can be a scary dream, same was as you can have a scary regular dream.

But SP you will not experience while asleep. Majority of people can experience SP 1-2 in a lifetime. And that's when either falling asleep or waking up. And it's not lucid dreaming related. Unless you suffer with SP disorder, you are quite unlike to feel it.

And HH, or hypnagogic hallucinations, those you may experience frequently when you are inducing your LD via WILD. Majority of them are either pleasant or not scary at all. If you WILDing with pleasant thoughts, your experience will most likely be also pleasant. And for many, even something that others would call scary, can be fun.

It really depends on you, how you look at it and if you allow yourself to enjoy this brand new experience, no matter how strange it will be.

And how to wake up? Try to think of your sleeping body, of waking up, or close your eyes. Happy dreams and ask any question.
