Transhuman Dread

Transhuman dread feels like a paralyzing, overwhelming fear that causes a person's mind and body to freeze. It's the visceral reaction to witnessing something that appears both human and impossible, like a being that is unnaturally large, fast, and powerful moving with the speed of a predator. This fear can be so intense that it leads to a loss of motor control, such as freezing in place or involuntary loss of bladder and bowel control.
"Transhuman dread. Aximand had heard iterators talk of the condition. He’d heard descriptions of it from regular Army officers too. The sight of an Adeptus Astartes was one thing: taller and broader than a man could ever be, armoured like a demigod. The singularity of purpose was self-evident. An Adeptus Astartes was designed to fight and kill anything that didn’t annihilate it first. If you saw an Adeptus Astartes, you knew you were in trouble. The appearance alone cowed you with fear."

Dollop of Dread

Think ‘stage fright’. A dollop of dread is anything that makes you feel an acceptable, or sometimes expected, sensation of anxiety or tension, but usually not enough to persuade you away from whatever caused it.
I had a real dollop of dread before that last test we had to take, but I think I did alright.
