In a perfect world, Morgana's afraid of spiders, or lizards, not nightmares that come true and her surrogate father finding out her secrets, parts of herself she can't really control and definitely can't change. In a perfect world, it doesn't matter what Morgana is, or what she can do--it only matters what she does do, and why she does it.
It's not a perfect world, though, and Uther is distant and angry by turns, and Morgana is afraid, down to her bones of who she is, and what she can do, and what Uther will do when--if--he finds out. She's afraid of what her friends will think of her, if they'll look at her like a stranger. If they'll fear her or hate her. If they'll stand by as she burns.
It's funny, that, how when it finally sunk in that it was magic that sent her the dreams that had plagued her her whole life, everything changed. Her perfect world, if you asked her, stopped being her father still alive, huge and strong and loving and there, the way she remembered him from her tenth year, before he went off to war and came back
