Coneaphobia

Coneaphobia, a fear of traffic cones. I was plagued with this as a child, as my childhood nightmares apparently told me. When I was a child, between the ages of about 5 to 7, I had recurring nightmares about traffic cones! Ha ha ha. It is quite laughable now, but it terrified me at such a young age. In my dream, we would be driving in the car and we would approach a row of traffic cones. As we drove by the dozens of traffic cones, I would unbuckle my seatbelt and sit down on the floor and try to keep out of view from the window. I was always trying to hide because all the traffic cones would come to life. They all had hideous pointy teeth and little beady baboon-like eyes! And due to the cones being made of rubber, they could bounce very high. I remember looking up form the window and seeing the cones bouncing up and down about 6 feet in the air! I never knew if they ever saw me, but man, it was creepy! I am pleased to report I no longer have this phobia.
