most oneirogmophobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. Ooooooooooooooooookayyyyyyyyy. Aside: I know a lot of guys. None of them have ever admitted they've had a wet dream. Consequence of the sexual revolution??

Its odd all the pictures on the site are of women. Are they implying that women have this disorder as well, or that you dream about women and thus exhibit the disorder? I mean, as far as I know, women show very little physiological evidence of a "wet dream."

Hey, they have other ones, too. But so long as the negative association is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks: "Ahh, this whole thing is clearly very dangerous. How do I keep myself from getting in this kind of situation again? I know, I'll attach terrible feelings to the great mole rat –– that way I'll steer clear in future and so be safe." Just like that Phobia of The Great Mole Rat is born. Living with fear means you can never concentrate fully and give your best. Lost opportunities. Poor performance or grades. Promotions that pass you by. Fear of Fear of Peanut Butter Sticking to the Roof of the Mouth will likely cost you tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime –– let alone the cost to your health and quality of life. The Phobia Clinic will train your mind to feel completely different about opinions or beliefs And if you're one of those people who has been playing a mini-disaster movie in their mind... your own "COITUS FEAR THE MOVIE: The Directors Cut... starring Me!" of all the worst stuff you can imagine, you'll find the screen goes blank immediately you work with us. Your Coitus Fear movie will never play again. At least until it comes out on video.

So that's why I keep shaking hands with the unemployed.

I'll tell you one place where "fear of wet dreams" is valid: military Basic Training. There were several guys in my flight who, in the middle of the night, could be seen (dimly & very, very quietly) changing their shorts and hiding the evidence.

We have nothing to fear but excretion itself. I don't get it at all. I had ONE fucking wet dream in puberty, and I haven't woken up in the middle of the night feeling so good since. Afraid of them? I guess different strokes for different... never mind.

A friend of mine who can't register an account here since the new user thing is closed brought this to my attention. That's a lot of "surprisingly common" phobias and crazy director's cuts. Enjoy!

Yeah, that site uses one single template and changes certain words and phrases (e.g. the name of the phobia) as per the PhobiaID at the top. It seems particularly daft and I probably wouldn't trust them to get rid of my Oikophobia.

Is oneirogmophobia a fear that can be overcome, or a fear of being over come?

Here's a list of all the phobias they claim to heal.

I mean, as far as I know, women show very little physiological evidence of a "wet dream." Oh...but it really depends on how good the dream was...

Fear of Bolsheviks: The Bolshephobia team at Phobia Clinic is board-certified to help with Bolshephobia and a variety of related problems. The success rate of our 24 hour program is close to 100%... Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of bolsheviks", each year, this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress. Wet dreams are one thing. But Bolsheviks. Whoa. There's something to keep you tossing under the covers.

I'll tell you one place where "fear of wet dreams" is valid: military Basic Training. Dorm rooms as well. Aside: I know a lot of guys. None of them have ever admitted they've had a wet dream. Consequence of the sexual revolution?? More likely, there's a whole lotta wankin' goin' on.

Aside: I know a lot of guys. None of them have ever admitted they've had a wet dream. Consequence of the sexual revolution?? As far as I know, I never have, although I've certainly had my fair share of dreams about sex. Then again, I'm a notoriously light sleeper, so maybe I just wake up before anything terribly interesting happens. Now I feel so inept.

This condition can be easily remedied...at least for men. Wet dreams generally occur when the sufferer(?!) lets things build up, so to speak, and nature has to get rid of the excess build up. Taking care of business on a regular basis (particularly before going to sleep) should alleviate the problem. The phone lines are open. Next caller please.

Can you ever be cured of a Fear of Phobias (Phobophobia)? Seems a losing proposition either way.

By: realjanetkagan

realjanetkagan — Sun, 16 Nov 2003 21:44:35 -0800

From their list of phobias they can cure you of--- "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia — long words" You sure this is for real? 'Cause I think it's for fun. (And so are wet dreams, male or female ;))

My guess about the disorder itself is that for many, the fear is not the wetdream, but the nature of the wetdream. Many fear what they most desire, sexually speaking. And wetdreams are sexual wish-fullfillment.

Theyve got to be making this up: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - fear of long words lol.

I mean, as far as I know, women show very little physiological evidence of a "wet dream." Oh...but it really depends on how good the dream was... Exactly. And how quickly you wake up. I wonder if women have them all the time and just don't know about it since the evidence is less ... visible. WolfDaddy, I'd say about half of the men I've asked about it have had them. Who are you hanging out with?... ;)

Bolsheviks. Whoa. There's something to keep you tossing under the covers. Man, ain't that the truth. Couldn't toss one off for tryin' if ya got that sorta thing in your mind.
