Hey,

I've had like three LDs when I was younger (around 17), and two this year (24 now), the last one a few days ago.

Although I really enjoy having these LDs, and even being in a really good mood afterwards, I'm sort of ambigous towards it... Before I go to sleep I feel it would be awesome to have an LD, but it also scares me a bit as well. I know it's just a dream and that whatever happens in it really can't hurt me (except in Terror on Elm St maybe, hehe), but I still feel a bit uncomfortable! I know that a negative mind more likely will induce negative dreams, and by knowing that I get negative. Like a down-spiral, sort of. On the other end of the spectrum I get kinda angry over myself for being this childish... Shape up, be a man!!

The thing is I had a very dramatic paranormal experience (when awake, not dreaming) almost three years ago, and I think it left some strong, undesired marks in my subconscious. I think what really scares me is that I will remember this event when becoming lucid, and then sort of unwillingly manifesting it inside my dream. And FYU: I've never been as frightened as that one time, and although I know that it couldn't hurt me in my dreams (probably not atleast), it's being scared that scares the shit out of me!

Stupid, I know, but it's still an issue that I'll have to resolve somehow. Any thoughts of how I should do this, anyone? Have you felt the same way?
