Fear...
Now, my fear is purely self brought on. I watch waaay too many of those documentries on plane crashes and what causes them. But i really can't stop watching them!! It's like i'm addicted to planes hurtling to the ground.
Last night, i watched a docu about a flight that exploded, broke up mid air and fell into the sea. The entire time i was gripping the sofa arm and D's hand for my life. I seriously watch these programs with fear etched across my face. I need to stop watching them. But i can't.
This is most probably the reason why i dream nasty dreams about planes. When i was a little younger, i used to go out the airport and watch the planes take off and love it. Now i sit there cringing, whilst stranging loving it. When we drive past the place where retired passenger planes are being converted to cargo planes, i stare out of the window with drool hanging from my mouth. I did that last week. It's like i'm scared of them, but i love them!
I have been on a plane before. We went to Florida. I was fine all the way there and all the way back. Even when a woman started screaming 'we're all gonna die' wail sob waaail when we hit bad turbulance. 9 hours each way! I did well. The night before we came home, i watched Alive! on telly, and it still didn't bother me to get on that plane.
Maybe i might try hypnosis. Or something that will enable me to stand next to one without fear that it will explode.
