Just before you enter lucid dream, you may experience hypnagogic hallucinations. They may get scary, especially if you have no idea what's comming. I think this is what is frightening you.

These HH can be loud noises or images. But they do happen before you enter lucid dream. So try and stay calm, just tell yourself these are hallucinations, can't hurt you in any way. They will last just seconds and after that or during that you can enter lucid dream. There, the scene will be most likely different than what your HH were. And you will have control. If you don't like something, just think about changing it and it will change.

Here is a great WILD (sageous) tutorial that explains the whole process in detail.
