I am not worried about it.  I don’t even worry about nightmares. (By nightmares, I mean dreams with somewhat disturbing content. They are not really scary to me.)

Tho I did have an episode many years ago, when I came awake, but seemed paralyzed while having the sensation that there was an evil presence that I did not dare to try to look at. (I hear that happens sometimes with some folks.)  That was terrifying.  (A true but gratuitous Halloween anecdote.)

But no, my interest in lucid dreaming, is that I would like to know how true it may be that some people can do it successfully.  And I would like to know to what extent they have a sense of control in what happens.  For one thing, I view it (if it is a real phenomenon) as a behavior, and I am always interested in trying to do an analysis of unusual; behaviors.   And for another thing, it strikes me that if one can do lucid dreaming as it is described, it has occurred to me that this might be an avenue for a kind of virtual libertarian free will.
