Childhood fears?

[Rigi]

Well, I was always afraid of making a mistake, or doing something wrong.

And I also didn't like to sleep in the dark. I mean, I wasn't really afraid of the dark itself, but the things that I would see in the dismal light. So, for all of my childhood, I slept in the light.

I also had a recurring dream where I would be going down stairs and I was going so slowly that I would speed up and speed up until I would trip and basically sail over the stairs and straight into the landing, which was enough to startle me awake constantly. Nowadays that's been replaced with being in a car on one of those bridge-roads over another road and veering off over the side into the road below.
