It's hard to say if any of LotR really scared me, I mean beyond the typical adrenaline rush, because I can't really remember the first time I read it. Suspense is a big part of the fear, after all. A contender I haven't heard mentioned would be all the times that Frodo is called on from the "outside" to put on the ring, and is even more visible than before... most of my nightmares have to do with not being able to hide...
I did dream once about LotR, don't remember it very well, just something about the Nazgul but they were only people dressed up or something.
Eternity used to scare the heck out of me, too. I would lie awake at night trying to get my mind around the concept of infinity and I couldn't. Then I stopped trying and I was fine.
