Back in the early to mid 70's Rubik's cubes were sweeping the nation. Many people became consumed with getting one or solving one. My family had a few of them. I could solve it before anyone else in my family did but it drove my sister nuts because she couldnt figure it out.
This morning I had a strange dream about someone who had ill intent towards my friends and family and I threatened them with a rubik's cube. This person was scarred to death of it and backed off (in my dream of course).
Is there really people who have a phobia or fear of a rubik's cube?
I am sure the dream had some deep meaning I cant fathom right now but I was just curious if anyone out there ever caught the Rubik's craze or has a phobia about them.

hahahahaha
Great dream! Thanks for sharing.
My first memory of the Rubik's Cube was about 4th/5th grade. I couldn't solve it without removing the stickers, lol, but I could get a checkerboard effect on all 6 sides at the same time, go figure.
I can't imagine a Rubik's Cube phobia, but if it does turn out that some ppl have that phobia, man do I feel sorry for them.

Ah Yes I remember the rubikcube craze. Along with the rubikscube came the rubiks wrist. Your wrist became enflamed from trying to solve the puzzel.I don't think I ever solved it on my own. I could get to the last line then had to have help with it from my 10 year old son. Now my grandkids are into the cube. You know what they say what goes around comes around. It's hard to imagine someone with a fear of rubikscubes but any thing is possible. When we sleep our minds go to strange places. I would rather have your type of dream than the kind that Steven King has.

Thanks for the reply deebomb. Problem is the rest of it was like a stephen king dream. I would imagine it would be hard to find anyone who had a fear of them but I guess everyone has a fear of something. There are lots of crazy illrational phobias out there thats for sure.
