"Realm of Fear" is an episode of the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. It primarily focuses on Reginald Barclay's paralyzing fear of the transporter. It is the second episode of season 6, and the first episode to show the transporter process from the point of view of a person being transported. The second episode that uses this perspective is the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Prototype".
The episode starts with the Enterprise coming to the assistance of a science vessel, the USS Yosemite. Unable to beam over using the Enterprise's transporters, Lt. Barclay's suggests linking the transporters on both ships, however this means a beaming one at a time with a lengthy dematerialisation/materialisation process. Barclay is assigned to the away team, and after watching Riker and Worf confidently stride up to the transporter pad and beam over, he does the same. However, he steps off the pad just before energizing and leaves the transporter room.
