Thank you introducing me to aliefs.
Had precisley one of the examples,
up the TV Tower in Shanghai on the acrylic walkway.
Knew engineers had ensured the clear acrylic sheeting was thick enough to support my weight,
and much more besides,
only way I could walk round was to make sure my every footstep covered some of the supporting steelwork.Also have had the 'going to fail this exam' dream/nightmare,
but it is a Physics exam, (I graduated in Chemistry),
and,
the 1st year Physics exam I DID fail, (in '79), was subsequently passed in a re-sit!
So the dream/nightmare relives something that did happen,
and passed with little consequence!

I can't find any footage, but I bet that the selfies stopped at that point!
+1 on the claustrophobia. Completely forgot about it until I'd signed myself up for caving under Budapest, which involved squeezing through all these really tight spaces like this happy chap
It was a fun experience though.

I am sure that exposure will help, and good luck! If only I had a private jet...
That second part is true. I always thought that I was too rational to get worried about planes, but then I sat on one with my palms sweating, unable to convince myself that I was going to make it back to terra firma in one piece.
I came across aliefs during the course of my studies, and I think that it's a pretty funny concept (in some instances)
