In English we have two opposite phrases: 

I'm looking forward to _________

and

I'm dreading ___________

I know the Russian equivalent of "to look forward to" is ждать с нетерпением. How is the opposite, to dread, expressed in Russian? For instance, how might you say "I'm dreading going to the dentist",  "I'm dreading the meeting tomorrow", "I'm dreading the exam"

One more variant: до ужаса боюсь.

I'm dreading the exam = Я до ужаса боюсь экзамена.
