Recently I've been having a string of crazy-ass lucid encounters with devilish creatures.

some examples:
  • I WILD into the dreamworld off my bed
  • I open my dream eyes
  • suddenly paranoia sweeps over me--theres something in the room with me
  • In my peripheral vision I see a black figure walking towards me (about 3 feet away)
  • I will it out of existence and move into a bright happy place (a field of grass)
another:
  • I'm in a lucid dream and walk into an office building
  • After exploring the place for awhile I walk into an old messy bathroom (the atmosphere slowly gets "darker")
  • I walk around looking in the old dirty stalls and see a faucet and mirror in one of the larger handicap ones
  • walking up to it I begin to look at my reflection--Its perfectly lifelike
  • out of nowhere a massive burst of paranoia sweeps over my mind. I suddenly notice a little girl with blood spattered all over her blouse in the mirror standing behind me
    Her cold stare appears dead and hateful
  • I turn around as quickly as possible. Shes gone, I warp myself into another dreamscene
Then there was the last one that I found most unsettling:
  • I'm lucid and decide to try opening an imaginary door in front of me to see where it leads
  • I reach into the air in front of me and grasp the handle, pulling the door open
  • I feel no paranoia this time as the door continues to open
  • Theres suddenly the most terrifying creature that I've ever seen in my life staring at me, blood is trickling out of its mouth
  • I make its head implode on itself and close the door as its body begins to fall to the ground

As you can see, whats happening is not that I'm "losing control" of the dream, its more of the dream randomly spitting out terrifying imagery for me to deal with

I usually wouldn't care (because I'm often warned by intense paranoia before something terrible happens), but this last experience had no precursor, I was just suddenly and surprisingly standing face to face with my worst nightmare (though I did kill it instantly, I still have that twisted image stuck in my head)


I've tried to solve the problem myself (of having random freaky things happen in my dreams) by watching no horrors, never thinking about scary stuff, etc... but I just can't seem to make scary things stop happening
Does anyone have any suggestions or things that they've used to overcome this problem?


PS. this isn't a huge problem at all, its just a little thing I'm trying to solve to make my LDs more lifelike and enjoyable
