Ryan's 2 1/2 and is also in the "I'm scared" mode. In his case, he sees monsters and dragons in the yard at night - we make a point of going out there and telling the monsters to 'go home' - works.

He's also scared of anything unusual - for instance this morning the city tree service people were trimming branches outside our house and he was scared of them. I reassured him that Mommy was here and wouldn't let anything bad happen and besides, these people are helping us isn't that great? Then I pointed out how cool the trucks are (he's very into trucks & tractors) and he relaxed.
