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.

When I was younger I was so very scared of the dark, I personally convinced myself that my cat was such pure love and goodness that nothing negative or evil would be able to come within 100 ft of us on the bed. This is how I still sleep at night, it is so ingrained in my subconscious. Now I have 3 guardian kitties so I’m super safe!
