Greetings,

Since childhood, how early I cannot even remember, I have had dreams involving falling, but especially ones where I am driven off a cliff. The car I am in loses control and.. it's so vivid, I have trouble knowing whether it is a dream, too. I've had times I questioned it but it was so real I thought "this time it's really happening.. and I'm going to die."

Well anyway, this dream has me quite afraid of cliffs.. but only in a car. I am so not afraid of heights in other situations. Respectful of a potentially deadly drop, yes, but afraid? not so long as I'm steady and on my feet. Then I know I won't fall. Yet logic just doesn't stop my being afraid of my dream turning reality. So I have two problems, one being that I've been having this recur for such a long time and just plain not go away, nor can I control what's happening like other nightmares. The second is the phobia this has created.

Is there a solution?
