What are you secretly afraid of ?
Walking in the garden at night here getting a cobweb complete with suprised spider tangled in my hair and face doesn’t freak me out any more like it used to…but
I guess a coiled snake ready to strike Would make my heart jump though…
 
I’m not a big scary movie fan. Get me to watch a scary movie and I’ll freak out going to the bathroom at night.

Pretty girls don’t really scare me since I have five sisters and they always had friends around. Asking a girl out I suppose would be frightening. I’ve never done it. But that ain’t nothing compared to staring through the glass at your newborn child. That scares the living daylights out of me.

So you grew out of this?? There’s hope for me yet??? 'Cause that would be awesome!
(Lol can you tell I hate spiders?)
 
I need to give my like machine a kick and a thump, not working …
so all replies liked 🍧
Addressing a group of people scares me,I’m a one on one person .My heart doesn’t thump like it used to though 🙂
 
I did! 🙂 It helps if they are not poison and you make the same mistake of walking into webs about twenty times
ahahhahaha 😅
 
Tornadoes.
Being in small, cramped, damp, dark, and stinky spaces.
 
Twice I’ve dreamed that I was falling from a height, and I knew I’d be dead when I hit the ground … scared of heights…
But I did climb to the top of Saint Peter’s basilica, though a good part of the steps had no safety rails.

I dreamed that a massive tsunami was approaching, and everyone in its path including me would die, it was just before the 2004 Indonesian event, and in another dream, I silently watched as a huge wave, with swirling debris, towered over the vast glass wall in a hall where a priest I’d known was about to give a talk.

I’m not scared of tsunamis as far as I know, but I sure wouldn’t choose to live in a low-lying beachside home, much as I love the ocean.

Scared of heights, yes. Scared of tsunamis? I don’t know.
I’ll find out if I ever meet one…nevertheless regarding all four death dream scenarios I was silent and calm, just quietly aware that death was inevitable and unavoidable. And yes, it is of course.

I didn’t dream those events because I worry about those things. I find dreams interesting. One never knows what colourful, evocative, and curious dream events will present themselves…so no, definitely not afraid of dreams, but enjoy the adventures.

Some were saying they don’t dream much anymore,dreams can be a real adventure as you said Trishie
and those tsunami dreams would have felt so realistic …I’ve drempt of plane crashes and wake feeling kind of shaken .Not in the plane but an observer.
You were very brave climbing the basilica!
 
I’ve had a couple of those where I am falling, and it not a pleasant experience.
I have also had a couple of those sleep paralysis dreams and they are terrifying things. I was sort of half awake, but could not move, I could not talk, and an ugly old hag was sitting on my chest covering my mouth and nose with her hand. I woke up in a cold sweat too.
 
That sounds terrifying, Milt.
I hope you haven’t experienced many tornadoes.
I always feel bad when we hear of tornados ripping through some areas of the United States.

We have the occasional infrequent cyclone (hurricane) in the north west-or-east of Australia, which doesn’t have that scary tunnel effec but extensive gale-force winds and heavy rain. Cyclones can be very destructive, with damage to property and crops at times, and accompanied by flooding.

Australian houses don’t have cellars, so we don’t get to experience the horror of the dark, damp, cramped and stinky places. I don’t think we’d enjoy those either, Milt. Too close to the concept of burial, whilst not knowing how much damage is occurring above…no, it doesn’t appeal.
 
The last section, a very narrow winding set of steps that you awkwardly ascend whilst hanging firmly onto a thick grab rope that hangs down …and I’m not sure how often it’s dry-cleaned! I almost didn’t make that last section, but you have to as there is no passing room at this point, and the decend steps are separate. But it is worth the effort in the end.
 
Yes.that sounds kind of frightening. 🙂
I can feel a little disoriented climbing high.

Going down into my husbands basement for the first time brought back all the scary basement scenes from American movies I had watched…I was going into the dimly lit,cold room to do the laundry at night in the house alone…I did run back up the steps!

I have been involved in several tornadoes most just minor damage and no injuries (we have a much better warning system now), but the link I am posting we weren’t so lucky and the warning system was very poor. I was 15 at the time. I was in Michigan at the time. Our house was spared, but it took the barn, and tossed the pickup truck like a toy. It was weird as a second twister hit after a short time following the same path.


The US and Canada generally has four or five times the number of tornadoes as the rest of the world.

1998, Anne. The whole day had been weird weather-wise. The skies had an orangish-greenish look to them. And the tornado hit around 3:40pm. It was right over our garage and didn’t look like your standard funnel cloud. It looked like a real bad t-storm was going to hit. If I hadn’t had the TV on, I wouldn’t have realized it was a tornado.

It hit us and damaged the post office. (I went out the next day early and was allowed to get my mail. They then closed for a month while the necessary repairs were made and all mail for our PO was transferred to another location and held til service resumed.)

Then it went close to the hospital where Mama worked. I phoned her and she said, “We’re here in the basement having a party. I saw the tornado on TV.” I said, “I saw it over our garage.”

This is what it looked like. It even looks big in photos. Imagine seeing it over your garage. I was living it! You will notice by the time that it was still strong and hour later. That’s how huge it was. It wasn’t letting up.
