Of course leaving a well-paid job for your dreams is scary -- you don't have a plan! That's not a criticism, that's just how it works. If you were comparing two plans, you could more easily decide what's better. But right now you're comparing "stay with what I know" with "maybe my dreams will come true or maybe I'll die a failure in two weeks". My advice? Go talk to a therapist (not a mentor, but an actual psychologist) about what you want to do. That person can help you figure out what you're afraid of, and how you can deal with it.
