In the early tracking of my dreams I found that I had a strange trend. Whenever there was a body of water of any kind (lakes, rivers, oceans...even aquariums and sinks) there were monsters. Creepy hungry things that had unblinking eyes and sharp teeth, that could move fast and were poisonous or half rotted or cannibalistic to the few "good" things in the water, they are unfeeling and ravenous.
I am not afraid of water in waking life, in fact I absolutely adore the ocean and rivers, but without fail, water in dreams leads to bad things. I decided to face this strange dream phobia and used several lucids trying to get into the deepest darkest part of the ocean. As you can imagine I faced a lot of horrors.
It paid off eventually. Because more than just trying to find the scariest part of the ocean, I was looking for help. I finally found my whale, the DC I had been searching for. The moment I touched the nose of the giant creature all the scary things in the water left and I felt peaceful and happy. This only lasted a few moments until I woke up, but it felt like a big success.
It didn't cure me though, since then I have had another non-lucid aquarium monster but I feel like it is something I can work with.
I have to say though, it takes a LOT of guts, you have every expectation of being horrified and that's what you are going to get. More than a few times I was faced with things that were not even very intimidating but I felt cold terror turn my bones icy. You are asking your subconscious to subjugate you to the darkest things in your psyche. Simply by asking these questions, I feel that you are the kind of person who can handle it, but be ready to have your days overshadowed by some lingering bad feelings.
My advice is to have a person handy (irl not online) who you can share your experiences with. Verbalizing the dreams always seemed to help me. Also it may seem silly but have a non-caffeinated hot beverage waiting for you to make when you wake up, I prefer Jasmine tea ^ _ ^ a good brew works wonders for bad energies.
I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, and I would be interested in hearing about your journey as it happens!
