Is it normal to have a fear of drowning from a tidal wave

Ever since I was 3 I have had nightmares of drowning from a tidal wave. I am always either in New York trying to get to the highest bldg before I drown or on a beach trying to run from the wave . I don't know what could have triggered my fear when I was young, but I probably dream about it once a week. Seeing the tsunami disaster on tv or watching movies like 2012 hasn't helped either. Lol... Has anyone else had this fear?

    I have dreams like that as well, but my main fear is coming in contact with octopi, squids, and shark. :/
    I love the ocean, but with all the turmoil it has caused for so many people, the fear of it is as normal as normal can be.

    I have the same fear and just thinking about it drives me crazy because I'm scared the world going to end.

  • i kinda worry about drowning too, but mostly for me, the fear is dying in a fiery accident in a car crash or house explosion or flying through the window in a car.... its normal, most people are scared of dying.
