I had an existential fear of acknowledging that fictional characters were not real. I knew on an intellectual level that they weren't real, but I thought that acknowledging that would break all morality regarding actual real people.

What characters were you worried about?

Stuffed animals, mostly. Occasionally characters that I made up in little-kid-stories; more rarely popular characters from cartoons and films.

When I was about 9 or so I had a nightmare where I was in a sea of harlequin babies.

This is not a remotely unreasonable thing to be afraid of. :colbert:

Before I learned to separate reality from fantasy, it terrified me that there were people like this in the world, and that they probably knew all about me and were abusing their powers to keep me small and unhappy.

There are. :tinfoil:
