I haven't even done a lucid dream yet and I'm already scared of doing it
Maybe I shouldn't be doing this if I'm scared but I've always wanted to lucid dream.
The two techniques I'm practicing are FILD and I've been doing dream checks for about a week. I'm pretty scared though primarily of sleep paralysis, and monsters in lucid dreams.
For sleep paralysis, I know that most of the time you're concious during this it's uneventful and you can leave at will, however, I'm still pretty scared that something scary might appear and I'm not fully trusting of myself to do that 100% of the time.
For lucid dreams, I am really scared of just monsters or scary shit in general. I heard that it's alot more vivid and realistic which sounds really terrifying, I'm not sure if I trust myself to rationalize when a twelve foot figure is looming over me.
It feels like too that even if you can lower the possibility of these things happening it doesnt stop them. Like I've read about how say it's actually really unlikely for sleep paralysis to be scary but it feels like it doesn't help because it can still happen.
Do you guys have some suggestions please? Thank you
