Want to try Lucid Dreaming but too nervous to actually do it.

I've been quite interested in lucid dreaming for a bit now, it sounds really cool and there's a ton of stuff I wanna try.

HOWEVER.

Those stories of sleep paralysis, lucid nightmares and false awakenings have really put me off. Just so you guys know, I'm aware that those 'look in a mirror and evil stuff happens!!!' stories and others are just misconceptions, since everything is unique to your dream and what you expect (i think).

Also, the 'if your hands are weird, you're dreaming' thing also creeps me out, if I looked down and my fingers were too many or too little or my hand was from an animal I think I just wouldn't handle it. ​​​​​​​​

I know going up to an entity in your dream and being chill with them is supposed to make them nice, but I am NOT brave enough to do that, even if I knew for a fact it would work.​​

I know that the scary stuff is absolutely unavoidable and that's the main reason im hesitant to try it.

I know that I just have to not expect something scary to happen to not have something scary happen (I think so atleast), but sometimes my mind wanders and if I'm looking at my door in my room sometimes I'll randomly think "hmm what if an evil scary guy was behind it". I know nothing is there but in a lucid dream that might actually happen. ​​​​

Oh, and for my probably 24rd thing I'm scared of happening is the 'if you tell dream people they're fake they become really​ creepy​' thing, i know I just have to know that doesn't just happen, but I might accidentally think it does and then it does happen.

I'm not exactly brave (Even Minecraft horror mods scare the shit out of me..) so I'm a bit nervous about trying to lucid dream because of all this.​​​​​ Anyways that's it, bye!
