> Well, I didn't used to have any phobias at all, but I now have one because of an accident. I'm scared of water. Well, not really water itself, but being IN water, emmersed in it. It's all because I almost drowned in a swimming pool when I was 8 (I stupidly went into the deep end and didn't realize it).

I have a bit of phobia about water. And it's only in the ocean. I can handle being in a boat out on the ocean, I love that, but it's the idea of swimming in the ocean (beaches,etc) that terrifies me. I can handle swimming pools, regardless of their depth.
I don't know what originally caused this, but I did have a lot of unsettling dreams about ocean water when I was little, such as: jumping in the water and not being able to find the top, being somewhere and the water comes flooding in and I have to run and escape it.
Nothing has ever happened to me to cause any of this, it's quite irrational. Or maybe it's from a past life...
