Driving. I'll drive, but I always fear that someone will hit me and when there's construction on a highway, I cannot drive on the side if there's one of those construction concrete walls there. I have to drive in the middle. And I'm nervous sometimes when I am a passenger in a car.
Originally posted by 303darthbobbyI often find myself dreaming about tornado's. Not sure why, seeing as how I've never actually experienced one before.
That's how my fear came to past. I had a dream (won't go into details) when I was younger....freak me the hell out.
I've been through several hurricanes, but tornadoes...hmm..I've seen one from a far and I think one wiped out the patio at my in-laws during a hurricane, but we're not 100% sure on that. Might have just been a strong gust.
Can't believe I forgot to add this: water. Deep water actually. When I was younger, I was in a pool by myself (didn't know how to swim) and I wandered over into the deep end. Didn't end so well. Needless to say, I never learned how to swim. Last summer I was convinced to ride jet-skis out on the lake, and that was actually pretty fun. Anyway, I don't swim. Ever. If I'm in a pool, it's the shallow end for me.

Amusement park rides. It's not really a debilitating fear, I'll go on them if pushed, but I always get a sick feeling in my gut before hand. Actually riding them isn't that bad. The really weird part is that I'm not the slightest bit afraid of heights. Actually, I love them. I use to spend all summer as a kid climbing trees, climbing out of windows, and walking around on roofs. I don't know what it is about fair rides.
I'm also afraid of driving. But this isn't an irrational fear. I have pretty serious attention issues. I know if I spend long enough behind the wheel of a car, I will get distracted, or forget some detail and end up killing someone. Hence, don't I drive.
I actually dream about tornadoes quite frequently myself. But they're not nightmares. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to experience a tornado up close. Closest I've ever got was I slept through an F1. It touched down somewhere in my town, although I'm not sure where. There were a few down branches, and the screen house I put up in the backyard the day before turned up a couple yards over broken in four pieces.

Oh, God, I didn't even think about those. I grew up in various rented apartments and houses and each one came pre-equipped with a varying degree of cockroach infestation. So, you'd think I'd be able handle them, but just seeing them on TV creeps me out.
I'm glad I'm out of that crap.
