WILDs are the way to go. Seriously.

Of the ridiculous number of LDs I've had, the WILDs are the most fun. As long as you understand what is happening to you, it shouldn't be scary.

Father X in those papers was uneducated on what was happening to him (and LDing is still a relatively new topic), so naturally he found it disturbing and fightening at times.

My first LD was a WILD and was scary as hell, i'll never forget it, but I can look back on it and understand what was happening now

Honestly, my WILDs are the most VIVID lucid dreams I've ever had. Its definitely my favorite method for LDing!
