One of the things I have a fear of is alternating darkness and brightness. I don't mind being in full darkness, certainly not as much; my eyes can adjust or I can rest assured that nobody, barring the supernatural or people with night vision goggles can see me. I do not however like it when there is a continuous change between light and dark: flickering lights, streetlamps with too large a separation, crossing dark rooms, that kind of thing.
I suppose it makes some sense; I can't see optimally into the dark, but things in the dark could see me in the light. Since I get home so late, it's almost always dark at home. I find myself always sticking to either staying in as much brightness as possible or taking the darkest possible route. Anything else tends to make me rather tense.
I also have a fear of cities. The larger the worse. No matter how much space there is, it always feels claustrophobic, noisy, dirty and overwhelming. I don't even really mind confined spaces, but something about all the other things in the city just makes me approach everything in there with a degree of mistrust.
