Cymophobia or Kymophobia: Fear of waves or wave like motions.
Waves are harmless.
I like waves.
I like swimming.
I have no problems with waves.
I think they are swell.
On the otherhand...
Things that move in a wave like motion scare the bejeezes out of me.
The give me the heebie jeebies like no other.
Octopi: I can't stand them.
Worms: Just fine with me if they aren't moving.
Tongues: I don't wanna see them.
Jellyfish: Yeah, they suck.
I can't even stand spirit fingers.
This may seem like a pretty easy phobia to control, and for the most part it is. I don't tend to come in contact with giant hords of Octopi on a daily basis. I tend to avoid digging around in the dirt for worms in the morning. People don't normally walk around wiggling their tongues or fingers, so for the most part I'm good. The problem is I don't like things that I know can move in a wave-like motion. Dead Octopi, Jellifish, Seaweed, and things a long those lines. They make me more uncomfortable than I am willing to admit. They make my skin crawl as only the creepiest of horror films can. My heartrate picks up just the slightest, and I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach that makes me sick. It's not anything that dicates my life, which is good and all, honestly though...
If I'm dreaming about something creeping in the night, its probably a piece of seaweed or a tongue.
