3yo and "bad" dreams, scared to fall asleep? Help!
My 3yo had a dream the other night, that our dog was talking to him. It doesn't seem like a scary dream, but it really freaked him out! Now, he is crying and very very upset at naptime and bedtime. I had to lay down with him until he fell asleep!
He has previously been an EXCELLENT sleeper, has always put himself to sleep, sleeps 12 hours at night, no problem. We are not used to these sleep issues!
I made a "Sweet Dreams" spray, that I sprayed in his room before bed, but he was still too scared to fall asleep. He's not afraid of monsters, he's afraid that our dog will talk to him in his dreams, again, and I don't know how to help him!
I'm hoping this is a phase, that will pass? We have reassured him that the dreams are only pretend, and that mommy and daddy are here to protect him, and God is there to protect him too, but nothing seems to help.
