My Dream Goals

Hello, guys! Today I thought I would tell you why I never usually post my Lucid Dreams.

In the waking life, I love the night. It gives me a chance to clear my mind, get work done, and practice some WILD. When I LD, whenever I become lucid, it is almost always night. However, unlike waking life, this always fills me with a small sense of dread. I do not feel safe enough to explore, and due to my emotional state when this happens, I am unable to reach the level of lucidity required to change night to day. While I do sometimes have daytime LD's, these are short, uncommon, and not worth posting online (I use a private dream journal, then post the highlights online). However, there is one feat I have completed that may allow me to change night to day during Night LD's. On my first elongated LD (which took place at night), I became suspicious that I was dreaming when while walking around my house I looked at the clock to realize that it was 1:00 AM. I went to go to sleep, but when I checked again, it was only 7:00 PM. I got suspicious, but passed it off as nothing... until I looked again and it was 9:00 PM. So, for a reality check, I put my hands (which looked normal) on the sides of my view of the clock and flicked my right hand's index finger. The time increased by one minute. As I continued, this kept happening, and I realized that it was a dream, although at this point, although still in control of the clock, I developed the sense of dread that I still get today during night LD's (Surprisingly, NLD's are fine). Please tell me if you would know of any ways to get over this.
