This fear isn't "fictitious". When I gaze at the sky for too long i get panic attacks because my mind starts to think that the universe is too big for my mind to even apprehend. It has nothing to do with the fantasy that you might be "sucked into" the sky", it's the realization that you are holding on to the earth by such a small force compared to the universe and the sky is so much infinitely bigger than the 2D earth around me. For me it triggers if i look straight up more than just away, and if i purposefully stargaze. It doesnt trigger if im driving or just going around. I'm perfectly aware that were not going to be ejected into the air, but you feel as though you are being pulled up. It's the same sensation that vertigo provides. I also have vertigo, so it doesnt help.
