[QUOTE="witzend, post: 75547, member: 99"] I had nightmares as a child and I still do, but not as much. I didn't learn until I was an adult that my mother also suffered from nightmares until after she went through menopause. I still get spooked if I hear noises at night. When I was very young, I made up a friend I called "Baby Ghost". BG went with me at night, or during the day when I had to go to more deserted parts of the house. He was a ghost that was a baby so he protected me from the grown up ghosts. I knew he wasn't real, but he was like a part of me that was brave and I could call upon when needed. Then again, when I went to the bathroom he had to wait outside the door because [i]he was a boy[/i]. [img]:wink:[/img] As I got older my disbelief and older brothers and sisters who chastised instead of supported me made Baby Ghost less of a help. I know that I have always been a very light sleeper, and I think this doesn't help. I wish I had more advice. Nightmares are awful. [/QUOTE]
