One of my greatest fears is insects. Especially spiders and roaches.
Does anyone experience sleep paralysis? Those are very scary moments for me. My sequences usually go something like this: I have a horrible nightmare of some kind, and when I wake from it, I fall back asleep and re-experience the nightmare. I wake back up, and, realizing if I let myself fall asleep again, the nightmare will continue.. but I'm not conscious enough to snap out of it.. so I fall back asleep again and the nightmare continues. By about the 4th time I wake up, I'm desperate to snap myself out of the seemingly endless loop of torture. But I'm powerless.. I can't move... I'm just conscious enough to be aware of the problem, but not conscious enough to open my eyes and fully wake up. I try desperately to wake up my wife or cause a disturbance so she will shake me and wake me up. I try to yell, but I can't make a sound. I try to raise my hand and tap on my wife to wake her up so she'll wake me up... but I can't move. It's ... not fun at all. Just had one of those episodes a couple months ago.
I'm a lucid dreamer, and experience sleep paralysis routinely. It is very uncomfortable and is difficult to struggle against, but it has never filled me with fear. Maybe because I began lucid dreaming at a very young age? I know, with no doubt, that I can struggle against it successfully.

I fear nothing.
Absolutely nothing, Bobby.
Drowning, being stung by a bee, being burned, or forgetting my memory.... I fear nothing.
Why would you assume that I have a fear, never mind a worst one?
Is your list yet another rhetorical one?

Originally posted by sumydidHorrible. I used to have those episodes where I could not move or even open my eyes. I would dream that I was yelling, but I wasn't. I would think I had moved an arm or leg...or even that I had sat up in bed. But I had not moved a muscle. It was always when I was napping during the afternoon. Dreams had nothing to do with it. Even worse were the times I stopped breathing. Strange...but I have not thought about those episodes for years. I do not know why they stopped, but thank God, they did!
