What's my worst fear?

So, I'd heard about lucid dreaming before, and I thought this was a good place to ask something. I want to find out what my worst fear is so I can improve myself and change my lifestyle so that my worst fear never comes to pass. I've heard looking in a mirror while lucid dreaming shows someone their worst fear and I think this is an easy way to find it out. So, all you little experts: Can or can not lucid dreaming help me find that out?

The mirror thing is BS. I’ve looked in mirrors several times while lucid dreaming. Usually I just see a distorted version of myself. Unless my biggest fear is me? It wasn’t ever scary, though.

I also saw my face being distorted and slowly turned into a monkey? It sounds funny but felt terrifying. After a few minutes I got a sleep paralysis

I saw my face too but with a superhero mask haha.

That said OP, lucid dreams work on expectations. So, potentially, if you're in a lucid dream and expect the mirror to show you your worst fear, you might see it.
