So, what did you notice at first glance?
The CATERPILLAR:-
If the Caterpillar is the first of the four main objects to have struck your eyes, your subconscious fear is that of supernatural beings – ghosts! Termed Phasmophobia by medical experts, this is also sometimes interchangeably used with Spectrophobia, where the persons complain of the same dreaded sights, more or less. If you find yourself constantly being watched, especially if it’s right before you go to bed, chances are you did see the caterpillar first. With movies, cultural adaptations, horror literature or even religious teachings being the core of this fear, the brain’s Amygdala is constantly stimulated to send those creepy vibes down your body every time you hear a bump in the night. Worry not though, because this is simply the human body’s defense mechanism at work. Worse in the night as compared to very mellow or absent throughout the day, good news – your condition is not impossible to overcome. Studies show that the best way to overcome a fear of ghosts or similar supernatural beings is to list down all that factors that trigger your fears and try to accept and come to terms with them when you’re most comfortable. So if you’re already reaching for the pen and paper, we’re sure it’s the caterpillar you saw first!

The KNIFE:-
If it’s the knife that is what you saw the moment you laid eyes on Vladimir’s work of art, your subconscious fear is you suffering from a terminal illness without knowing it. A constant obsession with the preoccupation of falling terminally ill haunts you. You might live in constant fear of the emergence of a potentially life-threatening disease into your life which may cause your days to be much lesser numbered. AIDS, HIV, cancer or any other condition, this fear might be influenced by the suffering you may have seen a loved one go through. Medically known as Health Anxiety, even the smallest of illness or unpleasant feelings might make you feel like you’re about to suffer from something ten times in magnitude. However, if you too feel that your chest tightening might be the onset of a heart attack, you are not alone!

The BUTTERFLY:-
People who notice the butterfly at the first glance they take, have their subconscious fear as that of a betrayal. Rejection from someone you’ve fancied since a long time, refusal from a University or job offer, friends making plans without you, or anything along these lines is what keeps your fears up. Since this could be a chronic event, you probably have by now, working your way around showing this to those around you. It does, however, flare up when you’re face to face with it. This should not be taken too lightly, as it’s a recognized medical condition called Pisanthrophobia, which a lot of people actually have. You might find yourself vulnerable to opening up to other people just for the reason that they might hurt you down the road. Second guessing the choices you make in getting to know people, you may have reasonable justifications for doing so. Just remember, however, that just like most of the other things on this list, your fear is all a mental constriction too.

The APPLE:-
If what struck your eye first was the apple, your subconscious fear is the loss of someone very close to you. This, again, could be triggered due to the sudden or untimely demise of someone very near to you and is probably what keeps eating at your mind from behind the shadows. A very normal feeling to have as human beings, the damage done to our minds due to the passing away of someone close is always permanent albeit it ultimately heals with time as we come to terms with the fact that they are indeed, in a better place now. With the hope of seeing them again one day and the bliss that comes with knowing you are never to part again, we often find peace in acceptance. If you’re recognizing yourself through these words, chances are, you’re already moving on and would only feel all the more pleasant if it were for some help for you. Studies show it is best to develop a spiritual connection with whoever has left this world. Whether it be through Yoga or meditation or simply sitting still for a few minutes, it is always helpful to find a getaway and charge up. This power will not only fuel you through the day but also help recover from the damage.
