Can a dream cause a phobia?

Question

I have discovered I'm what the internet world calls "trypophobic" -- which is the fear of clustered holes/lumps, etc. Particularly it's organic-looking lumps that are in holes, for me-- as in the inside of a papaya makes me just completely wiggy.  Also weird, it only sometimes happens. I mean it's always disturbing, but if I'm TIRED, it's just awful.  I simply googled "trypophobia" the other day to try to figure out what caused it, and on not enough sleep, the pictures that came up practically gave me a panic attack.

I am trying to figure out what causes this. I suspect it's this horrible nightmare I had once-- I had this dream that there was a hole in my leg and that fungus was growing out of it. Like there were mushrooms in this cavity in my leg (weird, I know) -- anyway, I woke up feeling just so absolutely horrified/violated/disgusted that I was bothered for a good day or so. Now every time I see a hole with clusters of anything I flip out. Can one vivid nightmare really cause a chronic phobia?

Be sure you can distinguish reality from fantasy.

No. Yet It depends. If you don't like it, you are free to reject such negative thoughts, ideas or feelings at any time. There is no hard and fast rule to get confused  like this. The best alternative is to get such nightmares in some or the other auspicious time, for which you have to consult a priest or astrologer. First please explain your total problem to the priest or astrologer. Then only they can suggest in a correct manner.

to work out mice on your dream means that you are able to concentration on extra major subject matters incredibly than specializing in minor ones. The black might want to advise the added major issues might want to correctly be unfavorable. to work out mice feeding or eating shows that you're being abused emotionally with the help of someone who needs to make you sense unworthy.
