Proneophobia sounds more like fear of lying down, lol!

But how about these?
Agorophobia (open spaces)
Claustrophobia (enclosed spaces)
Hydrophobia (water)
Arachnophobia (spiders)
Aviatopophobia (flying)
Glossophobia (speaking in public)
Demophobia (crowds)
Acrophobia (heights)
Nyctophobia (darkness)
Thanatophobia (death or dying)
Odontophobia (dentists)
Aichmophobia (needles)

I thought Aggrophobia was crowds

Pyrophobia (fire)
Ophidiaphobia (snakes)
Bees - Apiaphobia I think
Vertigo - heights
I did know the fear of success but can't remember it

No, Agorophobia IS fear of open spaces.
Fear of crowds, I think, is allied to Claustrophobia, but I am not sure.

Claustrophobia is the fear of enclosed spaces.

Arachnophobia is the only one I recognize, because I HATE the little critters!
They give me the willys!
