I have the same fear. I don't think it's normal, but I'm not going to go to therapy for it. My theory is this: it's a man-made structure designed to harness the power of water. It terrifies me to think of the power behind that dam. Plus, I don't like the thought of all that big machinery down there in the belly of that big old dam, doing whatever it does. I have always been somewhat leery of them, but a trip to Fontana Dam in NC pretty much did me in. Can't even look at a pic of a dam without breaking out in a sweat.
I have the same fear, even if I see one in a movie, I have to shut my eyes. I had this fear prior to my father who wanted to teach all of his children all the ways to make electricity. Lucky, lucky me, we lived in a city that had a hydro-electric dam. On the tour, which I was pissing myself silly on, my father thought it would be funny to shove me inside the dam structure and close the door! Here I am locked between two slabs of concrete, knowing I am under hundreds of feet of water, and he was laughing.
Dams scare the hell out of me
