I wonder if anyone else has the same irrational fear of drowning I have, when I go to sleep, without realizing it?

Drowning

I have an irrational fear of drowning and when I go to sleep, I need to feel the air passing over my face when I am asleep. I never realized it before, but that is probably why I only need 4 hours or so at night of sleep. So by having a fan going, which sends a stream of air over my face, the fear of drowning is dispelled and I can sleep safely, because subconciously, I can feel the air stream over my face and I know I am safe. I wonder if anyone else has the same irrational fear of drowning I have, when I go to sleep, without realizing it?

But the air needs to be slow, if the air passes over my face to strongly, the feeling is too strong and the feeling of drowning comes back again, because the air flow is constant and without change and too fast - how's that for odd.

I have a Greyhound and he likes to sleep on my bed with me - I sleep alone - for his comfort I turn the fan down too low and because of that, I feel like I am drowning - and yet my Greyhound sleeps on my bed with me because he loves me and wants to be close and he is not bothered by the passage of air over his body, as I have been, but for him.

So, in a round about way, I have been my own executioner, by overruling my needs in favour of my Greyhound and his needs, which he does not have, by caring for him, more than I have been caring for myself.

So, at night, or when I sleep, I must put my needs first and let my Greyhound decide where he wants to sleep, without me being concerned about him and there are many places around my home he can choose if he wishes, so win/win - right?
