The source of your phobia - Page 3

There are some very good responses here in support of the possibility that phobias may find their origins in a different life.

I have found that the dark and confined spaces , Cellars and the such , have a certain way of making me feel uncomfortable very quickly, which makes me wonder if I spent some time in just such a cell or oubliette in one of my visits to this plain.

I shared this before but I have a huge fear of drowning. I dream about it all the time and have gotten terrified of the ocean. In my dreams I am not myself but an old, boat skipper with white hair and shaggy beard. Do I think it is from a past life?? Most definitely. I have a great guided meditation that you can practice in order to try and regress yourself. I might post it out one day...

I'm afraid of animals. Animals make me very uneasy. I can't trust them. But I also love them and it drives me nuts, I would loooove to allow myself close to them. I don't know if it's a past life fear...I think it's a spiritual fear or something. Maybe I'm afraid of myself idk.

Hello

I had a phobia of spiders. When I looked into WHY I found that as a small child I woke up screaming in the night as a very large house spider was on me face.

I can see the phobia from a past life with me Son. Right from day one he was terrifed of water. He was horrid to bath as a baby and til he was about 5 year's old. I had a show on about the Titanic and he said to me out of the blue Mom, I was on that ship and I died.

What was so odd about him saying that was that he finally lost that water fear. He asked to go to the public pool and started to put his head under water in the bath. Realeased that past memory I think.

Wow Lynn that is amazing~ I get horribly emotional with events like the Titanic, more than say WW1 (as an example). But I do have a horrible phobia of dark rooms, I get scared very easily.

I am VERY afraid of heights, remember having dreams as a child (when I wasn't so afraid of them) of being up high in a tower (like a castle turret) and have gotten worse as I get older.

I'd love to find out more and if this is a past life thing...and also get rid of this annoying fear.

I have a fear of spiders but I have no idea where it came from. I cannot remember a time when I have ever not been scared of them!!

Most children are raised with the idea that spider = dirty. As with all creepers in the house.
Add to that the unfamiliar form they have and their sudden movements.. and you have a plausible explanation.
