Lucid dreaming is the conscious perception of one's state while dreaming, resulting in a much clearer ("lucid") experience and sometimes enabling direct control over the content of the dream. The complete experience from start to finish is called a lucid dream. Stephen LaBerge, a popular author and experimenter on the subject, has defined it as "dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming."
LaBerge and his associates have called people who purposely explore the possibilities of lucid dreaming oneironauts (literally from the Greek ονειροναύτες, meaning "dream sailors"). The topic attracts the attention of a diverse and eclectic group: psychologists, self-help authors, New Age groups, mystics, occultists, ufologists and artists. This list is by no means exhaustive nor does interest in lucid dreaming apply necessarily to each group.
Lucid dreamers regularly describe their dreams as exciting, colourful, and fantastic. Many compare it to a spiritual experience and say that it changed their lives or their perception of the world. Some have even reported lucid dreams that take on a hyperreality, seemingly "more real than real", where all the elements of reality are amplified. Lucid dreams are prodigiously more memorable than other kinds of dreaming, even nightmares, which may be why they are often prescribed as a means of ridding one's self of troubling dreams.
The validity of lucid dreaming as a scientifically verified phenomenon is well-established. It may be classified as a protoscience, pending an increase in scientific knowledge about the subject. Researchers such as Allan Hobson with his neurophysiological approach to dreaming have helped to push the understanding of lucid dreaming into a less speculative realm.

REM sleep comes in cycles-about 80 minutes after you awake during the night you will enter a REM sleep phase when lucid dreaming occurs and they are more intense later in the night so people who want to experience them often set their alarms to wake up around 3 or 4 AM when lucid dreams are most likely to occur.

No, it is not scary at all. In fact, you feel free and happy. I've personally enjoyed flying by flapping my hands :)
The sad part is that the lucid dream never lasts too long

I have had lucid dreams before and no their not scary. When you are lucid you know that you are dreaming and that nothing is real.

Anything can be scary if you aren't expecting it. In my case I have expected drastic results, but rarely can remember my dreams. But I do take control of them and just enjoy the ride. If they get scary, or unpleasant you can harness the control to shift them your way.
8 years and very little results, but what I can remember has been awesome.
