*shudders*
if i ever had a nightmare in a room, i was thenceforth afraid to be in that room. some houses just make me fool creepy (like the one i live in now). i have trouble with what i can't see and thus can't control. i was afraid of monsters but not the dinosaurs i sometimes had nightmares about... cause dinosaurs were extinct. that was real and concrete to me.
and now that i'm an adult, i'm afraid of artificial heights. not cliffs, not canyons, but buildings and balconies and ferris wheels. especially if there's a banister. i refuse to use them because i have this irrational fear that they'll collapse on me. i can tell if i'm on a ground floor or not in a building. or at least i'm convinced i can.
oh yes and deep water. even in a pool or lake. but only if i'm on the surface. scuba doesn't bother it. it's about not being able to see what's under me. it happened after i went off a slide into a lake at summer camp. i hit something hard on the bottom and everyone was all like omgs snapping turtles and i'd seen this weird movie about a giant sea turtle that turned into a woman every hundred years or something... anyways. ever since.
