Oneirophobia
Oneirophobia is the fear of dreams. It is discussed in The Dream Frontier, a book by Mark Blechner, a neuro-psychoanalyst at the William Alanson White Institute.[1]
The fear is suffered due to experiences with frightening dreams (nightmares) or by negative events in the life affecting dreams. Sufferers try to avoid falling asleep.
