I've experienced lucid dreaming and also read a ton of stuff on it. Lucid dreaming for me tends to have little or no threatening feelings involved, but the dreams tend to be dark, faded, and often blurred. I also find it hard to move around sometimes.
The silver thread, if I remember correctly, is supposed to connect your astral body to your physical body, and should that thread ever break, you would end up dead. However, in my personal opinion, it is a load of BS. I take lucid dreams to be just another sort of hallucination. In reality, when you experience something like this, it's very hard to discern the difference between another "reality" and a hallucination, both being made up of electrical impulses, and since we know so little of the human brain and how it works, it is entirely possible that these electrical impulses can be interfered with in some way.
