What are fears?

Fear is the brain's response to something (real or not) that seems dangerous or scary. Nightmares cause fear, but nightmares are not real and cannot really hurt you. A fear can be legitimate, or illogical. A good example is when a parent screams because they see a lady bug-- their child learns to scream when they see a lady bug-- but a lady bug insect will not hurt any person.
