I just had my first scary lucid dream. It was caused by looking into a mirror. Here is the exert from when this happened.

"Looking to my left I noticed the mirror and decided to look at it. I saw myself in the mirror. My hair was a little messy like I had just woken up and it was a lot thinner than in real life. I had a really sad look on my face. My face was also a little pudgy and I didn't quite look like me. The longer I looked, the darker my eyes became until they were completely black. This really scared me and I turned away. "



I've heard that looking into mirrors isn't a good idea while your lucid because it's almost always scary for some reason. The problem is, is that all of my WILDs begin in my room and the mirror is right there. Now I have a really big fear of mirrors in lucid dreams. Nothing has scared me like this. I think it was a mix of it actually being me and the fact that it was a vivid lucid.

What would be your advice. Should I avoid mirrors, or is this fear worth confronting.
