I used to have the same feelings when I was much younger; it was a form of depression. As a Leo, I love the sun, but now I can't handle the heat like I used to. I've had many fabulous experiences in the mountains and desert being outside in the dark—the silence, multitudinous stars—feeling at one with the earth. Here, in town (Tucson) I don't enjoy the dark as much as I did while in wilderness.
I think it is wonderful when different people approach the same thing (so to speak!) in such different ways and can share them. I find these things really help others who may never have considered alternate perspectives or perhaps learned it one way, found it does not work for them, but not have any other frames to try.
So I'm not the only one! Actually, I never thought of myself as nervous or fearful of the dark. But I do know that for most of my adult life I've left some kind of light on in the house so I wouldn't wake to pitch dark. More noticeable this time of year is that I really hate getting up in the dark. Dawn is not a time I find charming or attractive.
I had lived in New York City for so long, with a streetlight right in front of the building and outside my window, that I grew accustomed to the light. While the light is part of the whole, there is often a lot of learning possible when we consider what does not resonate with us.
