Jesse Eisenberg used to be scared of swimming, because his mother had recurring dreams in which he drowned.


“When I started leaving the house to go to elementary school, my  overprotective mother began to have nightmares of me drowning. To make  sure they weren’t real, she would slip into my bedroom in the middle of  the night to check on me. When I woke up to the sound of her  hyperventilating, she would say, “Don’t worry, sweetheart, I just had a  dream we were in a canoe that capsized and I couldn’t save you. Go back  to sleep.”Other times she’d wait until morning. “Had another  dream last night,” she would casually remark while packing my lunch bag  for school.“Did I drown?”“Yep. In a sailboat.”“Oh.”“Have a great day, sweetie.”
