A lot of the time if it's an enemy chasing me, my favourite thing to do is to pretend my hands are guns, miming shooting them with noises and everything and most of the time I take them out with ease (Thank god for the finger guns!) So in that regard almost all my nightmares don't end up scaring me. If that technique doesn't work I just close my eyes, waiting for my inevitable death/wake up haha.
Oh wow same! More than half my dreams are lucid dreams now. And yeah, I'm very efficient at killing off spoopy things in dreams. The nightmares that do get me (that I'm trying to come up with reliable counters for) are ones based on real-life fears and anxieties. There's this one that keeps popping up, and keeps finding new ways to trick me because it builds off of previous dreams I've had or dream-created memories that seem so real. And it's hard to deal with because it's an anxiety relating to things that have actually happened to me irl. One of these days, though, I'm going to find a way to counter that in my dreams and turn the whole thing into a joke or something.
