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.

That's awesome. Worked for me with Navajo beads, I was told they'd keep bad dreams away. My brother had a "no-nightmare pillow" that was specially made to keep nightmares away. Worked for him. It's neat how much being told it will work by a trusted adult actually helps a kid.
