WELCOME HAWK!!!!

Don't worry about it, it is much more safe than one would imagine. I have only had one nightmarish LD, and I forced myself awake. The next time something scared me in an LD I assumed a kung fu stand(it gives me confidence, as I know it isn't real and I can control things to my advantage, sort of matrix-style).

I hope we can help you in your road towards lucidity, for you to realize how wonderfull it is and how little risks there are...
