I'm sickly afraid of oceans.

66% Normal

when I was younger I had a dream that I was tied to an anchor and threw into the ocean. As I was going deeper into the sea watching the fish go by I started breathing water. When I woke up my mom was holding me up shaking me begging to wake up. Later I had to get my tonsils taken out to fix my breathing problem.
I've dispised oceans ever since. Is this normal?

Is It Normal?

    If I can't see the bottom, I don't like it.

    I love the ocean but everybody is afraid of something. Me I am afraid of heights and flying from all the air crash investigations and how little disruption crashes the plane.

    It's definitely normal to be afraid of something that is related to a near-death experience, but it seems as if you would have more of a fear of asphyxiation itself rather than the ocean.

    I fear the ocean also. And yet I like to be on cruise ships. I won't be near the railings. Go figure!

    It's strange how much shaping goes on in childhood. I had very severe tonsillitis when I was two years old and I imagine (but don't remember) that many foods were difficult to swallow. My mother says that prior to this, I'd eaten everything she gave me, but after my recovery I was a very faddy child for many years.

    Yes, I'm also scared of being stranded on the sea and of various underwater objects like sunken ships.
