Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of long words.

Now THAT'S ironic.

Theophobia

Theophobia- Fear of gods or religion.

I was talking to my friend today, and we somehow came across the topic of religions. My friend told me that he didn't know if this was correct, but that this was the story of Abraham.

"I think the story was that Abraham was asked by God to kill his own son. Just as he was about to, God stopped him and said that he had passed the test of faith."

I'm not sure, but it made me sad to think of that. I know that God was never going to let him kill his own son, but the thought of that is just mind-bending. Well, for me it is. I found it to be bad that if I ever disliked God, I felt that I might be punished. Look what society has done to us.

Oneirophobia

Oneirophobia- Fear of dreams.

My friend talks about this thing called lucid dreaming. It sounds like such an amazing thing. It's quite hard to do. When you normally dream, you have no control over what happens. However, when you have a lucid dream, you can control everything that happens. You could do whatever you wanted! How amazing does that sound? To have a lucid dream, you must be able to make yourself realize that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. Sound confusing? Yeah, it does. It's really quite a hard thing to do. You could know what it felt like to do the most unimaginable things--if you only had the patience to practice something that you may never achieve.

Amnesiphobia

Amnesiphobia- Fear of amnesia.

Have you ever seen the movie "50 First Dates"? You know how the girl gets into an accident and doesn't remember anything after the day of her accident? And how her father and brother go through all the trouble of making everything like it was the day of her accident? What if somebody were doing that to you? How would you feel about that? We would actually never really know if that were happening to us unless someone were to tell us and had good proof of it. We all could actually be living a lie. It's not like we'd ever know about it. We could have actually lived a whole other past life, but someone (or something) didn't want us to know about it, and that's why we're so clueless. Do you know how frightening that'd be? Perhaps that's why we all experience random moments of deja vu. Hey, you never know; maybe you've already lived this life.

Gamophobia

Gamophobia- Fear of marriage.

I watched the movie "27 Dresses" today. Basically it was about this girl who had 27 bride's maid dresses because she was always the bride's made, and never the actual bride. Of course it goes through a whole plot and she ends up getting married (sorry if I spoiled the ending). Watching somebody go through that makes you not want to be a bride's maid--ever. All i'm trying to say is re-think that wedding you're going to, okay? And if you're a guy, well then I really advise you to re-think being a bride's maid. Just saying.
