for me it is Spiders. I see snakes being a big one here. That is something that never bothered me. Matter of fact my brother used to have a whole bunch of them for pets. The garage was packed with aquariums and heat lights for them. I am talking wall to wall. I remember going over there... there was several times I was holding 3 snakes at once... one wrapped around each arm... and a third draped around my neck. But I can't stand to see even the smallest of spiders.
I know for Britt it is clowns. Other then that I don't know when it comes to the creepy crawlies. She will have to say if so.
But for the most part I am the same as Jon. No movie scares me... and nightmares I enjoy! Well for the most part anyway. Whenever I have a nightmare about vampires (been wanting to watch some vampire movies again), zombies or werewolves or what have you I desperately try to fall back to sleep and continue such dream.
But if I have a real life nightmare... those effects me. Anytime I relive the deaths of my wife or my mother (which unfortuneately happens a lot) I wake up in a cold sweat and all upset. Those I can go without having if I had my choice.
I know sort of what you mean, Pete. It's just turned six years since I lost my Dad, and it would have been his 65th birthday last week, meaning he would be retired now. I find myself thinking about how it ended for him and get so angry; it's like a punch in the stomach when I'm least expecting it. I know how proud you are of Britt though, Pete, and so the future can only help you come to terms with the past.
Now while I don't have any phobias, I have got this really weird thing about broken glass! If I have to clear any up, I get pins and needles in my hands. So, still not "irrationally scared", but obviously something is a bit off centre there...
