Sleep help

I know i can control my dreams, and i know i am lucid dreaming almost every night. The problem is once i know im dreaming i always say to myself ok now i can control whatever happens, but for some reason i always get scared to be in a dream and i always force myself awake.I dont know why im always scared that im dreaming but it really effects my sleep because i can find myself having to wake myself up, up to 4-5 times a night. I need help controlling my dreams so that i can have fun with the lucid dreaming instead of being scared, it almost feels like im trapped in a world that i do not want to be in anymore.I will be in a normal dream when out of nowhere it will click in my head that im asleep.This used to only happen once in a blue moon but now is happining every night. It feels like my brain is half asleep half awake, and sometimes it feels extremely real. Help?:?

If your having lucid dreams every night then most people here would be pretty enviouse. It sounds like LD is fairley new to you. My point is that when you normally sleep, your mind just accepts what is happening to you. But when you become aware that you are dreaming, you also become aware of all the strangeness araound you.

The thing is once you tell yourself that you are afraid, you create a routine for yourself so that next time you become lucid you automatically become afraid. You need to keep telling yourself that YOU control the dream and not the other way around. There is alot of fun to be had once you learn that you can create anything you want. Even a state of mind. If you were to experience your dreams in real life, that would be very scary, but in LD you CAN believe that nothing is real and therefore you dont need to be afraid.

Sorry for rambling, I dont know if I've been any help, but Hope you get the hang of it. You can do it.

Just relax and let your dreams soak in to you. You will feel more comfortable dreaming about more situations and soon, you won't be afraid at all.

Fears in our dreams very related to fears that we have in our real life. It can be anything: spiders, snakes, bad marks in a school, unemploiment, neibourghs, boys, girls, parents ......... Make a list of your fears (if somebody tell me that he/she hasn't a chach list - (BS) preatty often we just do not think about them olthough they are right here hidden inside). I do not say you have to fight with these fears, but give an explanation to each of them that is usually enough to trick your consiosness.

but lucky you that have LDs so often.

That does help alot everyone thanks :)
I didnt know I was lucky to have them every night. I think ive started having them so often because one night when it happened to me I thought about it so much before I fell asleep that it just kept happening. And when in does happen its usually in the middle of a normal dream, then right when I know im dreaming it feels really realistic, which is when I get scared and wake myself.
Hopefully I can learn how to control it.

..and i did try letting the dream 'soak in' just last night, when i did it sort of just faded back into a normal dream and it was a lucid dream anymore, it was weirddd.

I've talked to people who had the problem you described. Most of them said that they were afraid of getting stuck in a dream and never waking up. The ones who said that had all had a really bad false waking type dream. You know, a dream where you dream that you woke up but you didn't really wake up. They couldn't tell the difference between being aware of dreaming and how it felt when they'd dreamed about waking up.

Even if you have that experience in a normal dream that you don't remember, your subconscious can make you afraid of getting stuck in a loop. Eventually after you have a lot of warm and fuzzy lucid dreams, you'll over come whatever fear is waking you out of the dreams.

Remember, it's your mind. If you know your mind, then you know what to expect and therefor have nothing to fear.
