I'm not scared of the dark, per se... but I'm TERRIFIED of bad things happening while I'm sleeping, especially if DH is away and I'm alone for some reason. When I was little, this was my biggest fear... I always thought there was somebody just outside my bedroom door, waiting until I fell asleep to come in and kill me/take me/whatever. Now, if I turn the lights back on and get up and read or watch TV, I feel fine... but as soon as the lights go off again, I feel like I'm signaling the bad guys to come out and get me.
Other than that, I'm okay with flying, spiders, heights, and all the regular phobias... although the older I get, the more wussy I get, I've noticed.
ETA -- Oooh Danielle, I forgot, driving is a fear for me too... for some reason it just gives me the WORST anxiety, which usually leads to a tension headache, which then ruins the rest of the day. Fortunately I live in the city and only really leave on weekends, and DH drives then. But driving on highways, at night, in rain, etc... ugh, hate it.
