Me and My Pediophobia

Pediophobia is the fear of dolls, mannequin or children.  In my case, I am afraid of mannequin.  I'm not in a serious pediophobia state.  I am not so sure if this phobia started from a dream or I am really born with this phobia.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of a lot of toys was after me in a department store.  I was alone and it seems that it's evening.  There are mannequins too that are chasing me!

I had already two encounters when I can't breathe after seeing mannequins.

First encounter:  (2005) My husband and I went to his relative somewhere to check on the photo samples for wedding photography.  We went up to the second floor.  I don't know what's with them but they are like in a hurry like running for an airplane flight!  I slowly went up but end up being alone.  It was dark in the 2nd floor and what I saw was a small floor area with lots of mannequins dressed up in clothes.  I suddenly can't breathe, and was calling my husband's name.  He didn't heard me calling as always.  I just run back down the stairs.

Second encounter:  Just last night (March 1, 2011) around midnight, There were mannequins on our 1st floor.  I went down from 4th floor to 1st floor to get a set of mannequin so I can take the photos of my pre-loved clothing and post it on my online shop.  As I am going to carry the upper part of the body, I felt something weird.  Then I had a hard time breathing and my heart was pounding faster than the normal heart beat.  I went back upstairs.
