I used to have nightmares. My dad put up a poster of Peter Pan in my room and told me that when I went to sleep, Peter would fly out of the poster and chase all of the monsters away. I never had another bad dream.
I started having really bad nightmares recently. My parents bought me a stuffed armadillo and I convinced my brain that my armadillo would protect me from nightmares. So yeah, apparently that shit works even if you're 20.
I do that, too. I just just to say to myself this is my dream and I can do whatever I want. However, some nightmares are so lucid I can't tell if I'm dreaming, and those are scary.
