Dread

Dreadnought

Dread is a specific form of fear. Futurity is the common denominator, but dread is more philosophic, more encompassing than day nervousness. Kierkegaard deals with comparable emotions in The Concept of Anxiety. You might say fear is site specific while its counterpart ultimately pertains to the shadow death casts upon the finitude of existence. Fear is assuaged  by contingency but anodynes for dread are little more than bandaids.
