Why scary? Playing God is fun.
Discussion
I am doin it for many years now and I have never experienced it in a godlike way.
I am not able to control the dream at all. I just know that I am in a dream. (I have a 100 % working dream-test, like in the movie Inception)
Usually I start to panic, want to get out and freak out while trying to wake up. Most of my experience with that is very frightening. Some is cool.
