List of Phobias

A lot of our dreams involve phobias; we may find ourselves in a situation that we wouldn't normally be able to face in real life. This will often be our subconscious showing us that there is nothing to be afraid of, possibly to prepare us for future events.

Here is a complete list of phobias, some of which you may recognize as being key factors in a lot of your dreams. Once you can put a name to something, in this case a phobia, you can have a degree of power over it. You may also find comfort in knowing that if there is a name for your phobia, other people must have the same fears.
