Just had my first lucid dream, (it kinda went bad any advice?)

after a month or two of complete obsession with lucid dreams i started to become lucid i guess but I'd wake up almost immediately. however i just woke up from the first LD where i had any control at all then i just got terrified and this figure was jumping out at me so i tried to leave my dorm room and it was just black nothing, then i just woke up. i guess i just suck at this or my mind just doesnt want me to do it or something

Sounds scary, I heard that if you are frightened that something bad will happen in your dream, it probably will. Try to be positive, and remember if you are lucid, why not turn the creepy figure into a chicken?

I just had my first LD too, it was like 10 seconds long but great fun anyway.
