It sounds to me like you are having nightmares that are too 'overpowering'. The thing about lucid dreaming is, it's exactly the opposite.
The thing that these kind of dreams is that you are sub-consciously lured into a distressing situation where your mind tells you you have no power over it, and this can be extremely distressing from your experiences.
I just want to ask, if it's not embarrassing, do you know why you have these dreams? Have you had bad past experience of something, or do you have any known mental health problems?
The most important thing to remember is, Lucid dreaming is not your enemy on this subject. In fact, it's quite the contrary. Lucid dreaming is frequently used amongst people wishing to get rid of their nightmares, because as they say, the most effective way to get rid of your fears is to attack them head on.
If you have a lucid dream, and can control them, simply conjure up the 'killer' in your mind and turn the tables. Give them a taste of your foot and say very loudly in your head 'NEVER bother me AGAIN!!!'
Granted that might sound a little farfetched to you, but believe me, it works for many people (myself included, I did it when I couldn't get rid of an annoying, demon-like dream character).
If the dreams continue, I'd recomend seeing a psychologist or buying a book on dreams, or on mental health (judging by your description, I'd almost certainly say it has something to do with mental health). I'd also recomend you take a look at the following pages:

Oh, and before I forget, confidence is the key. Be confident that you can stop these dreams. Just go to bed, believing in yourself and that you have absolute power over your dreams. After all, you and your dreams are one and the same.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
