What are your oddest fears?

[SofaKing]

I'm afraid of clowns

 

[Trygve]

Jumping through windows in an upright tucked position. Diving through headfirst is no problem, feetfirst is okay if I get warmed up first, but trying to run at the window and jump through it while staying upright with my legs pulled up just gets me.

I might have one of the strangest..

I cannot STAND raw cotton. I cant hold cotton balls... I cannot touch the tip of q-tips.. When they put cotton in my mouth at the dentist I want to KILL SOMEONE. I have no idea what this is about. I hate the feel of it. I hate the "sound" that it makes when you rub it together.... ACK I don't even like thinking about it.

But refined cotton (like shirts, etc) is fine.

I have similar phobia - of touching chalk - I hate the feeling of it on my skin, and everything

this reflects your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you.

I'm deftly afraid of failure. So much so that sometimes I prevent myself from doing something becuase there's a chance I might fail.

i had a friend in college with a fear of cotton. we used to chase her around while tearing cotton balls and she would go berzerk.

Funny... I think your boyfriend dreamt that your teeth fell out to...


...He was disappointed upon waking to find they were still there...

LOL

Probably does - I'm the biggest freak when it comes to teeth

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

My biggest fear? Honestly? Working at McDonalds the rest of my life.

There's a lot of broken dreams in the world, I don't want to be one of them.

Common dream. It simply means you're concerned about the way people think about you. You're worried as to how other perceive you.

 

[Papagayo]

I'm 36 years old and I am afraid of needles.

 

[Baked]

Having rbloedow show up at my door steps when I order a pizza.

 

[dighn]

paranoia about eye sight loss. i regularly check my sight in each eye individually by shutting the other one. consciously i realize it's a pretty messed up thing to do.

that you will come to my door trying to sell something.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

to all you people with dreams that your teeth are falling out...

my ex-gf had these quite often. she also ground her teeth when she slept and i am sure they are related.

Mister Skylight!

 

[vital]

UFO's and ghosts and stuff...

 

[SaberDicer]

Black people.... actually that's pretty rational since I live in Baltimore.

 

[Looney]

No irrational fears... but since the OP started with a dream, i would say i keep having this recurring dream that i've taken a course in university, but then skip the final exam and fail it. All that waste of money and ruining my grades because i skip it for some reason (sometimes it's because i forget, sometimes i just say 'fvck it' and do something else in my dream). I think it's because i never finished my degree... but i'm going back to school now, so i probably won't have the dream any longer.
