I'm probably most afraid of being lucid during a nightmare (although I haven't had or at least remembered one for a while). Because in non-lucid nightmares I can just let what happens happen. But I'm just afraid that if I become lucid in a nightmare, I'll be unprepared, make a wrong decision, and not conquer my fears. I'm sure there's a section of this forum about nightmares that I'll read about later. But is this hesitance normal for beginners? And how can I take care of it?
P.S. I am far from having a lucid dream because my dream recall isn't that good anyways, but still...
Okay, a word of warning: On your first LD, you may feel a pulling sensation when discovering you're dreaming. It's nothing major, though. It's less pressure than a Gravitron at the state fair.

Other than that, you have absolutely nothing to lose! You could actually turn a nightmare to a dream that's loads of fun. (like a recent dream I had where becoming lucid in a nightmare went from a car-ride to hell to beating up the Devil matrix-style! )

And if you haven't been keeping a dream journal, you should. That helps a TON. If you need further help with LDing don't hesitate to PM me.
