False awakenings. The idea of them creeps me out. I am yet to have one, but any dream I ever recall having in my room has been a bad one, and sitting here now I can imagine several ways a false awakening could turn horrible.

The main scenario that concerns me is I wake up in my "dream bed," do a reality check to confirm it's a lucid, and then something runs in to kill me, something bangs at the window, I hear a jarring noise, the list goes on. Not to mention that most likely a false awakening will be at "night" in my dream, making it creepier...

I'm mainly worried that I'll be so frightened by whatever awaits me that I will not be able to control the LD and either wake up or fade into a normal dream.

Helpsh?
