In GoaC the fears are metaphorical.
Lily- Kind-hearted. Looks for the good inside of everyone. She is the happy person most aspire to be. The spider symbolizes that which is not wholesome or cute. In Lily's world or view thereof, the spider is the personification of the everyday fears that people have. The world is not perfect & we must live day to day in it. Trying to be who we feel we are while at the same time hiding a part of ourselves deep inside. Thus the spider fear.
Theo- Multi-tasker. Constantly seeking the approval of others. The karaoke symbolizes Theo & his fear of the perception towards him. A lingering feeling that someone is watching him constantly just waiting for him to fail. Thus the social rejection fear.
Casey- A cub. Promoted to Ranger solely due to standing against Jarrod- fighting dark forces. The closet door symbolizes that which is unknown. A darkness in which Casey fears for he is still learning. He fears what lies ahead. Thus the monster in the closet fear.
