Children, perhaps with their existence the purest source of dreams, and clearest dreams. Do not hold back the care which you show to the things they want to do in life to their dreams. Listen to them carefully. Smiling, making them feel your awe and attention... Express often that the life in sleep is a gift and how lucky they are for remembering their dreams. Support them with positive interpretations. In awake life, make positive progress occur that affirms their dreams. If they receive a present in their dreams, make a present for them throughout the day. Your listening to their dreams with attention, will both improve the mutual communication and will provide you the chance to show them the value you give them.

As parents, we need to reach the necessary level of consciousness. I listen to the childhood experiences of many consultants. All while having wonderful dreams or getting visions, they shut off these talents due to the criticism of their families and environments. Moreover, that happens to be the most frequent case of the search we make about not remembering dreams. Think of it, hundreds of nce dreams, vision and intuitions not put into life. I truly wonder, if this hadn't been the case, if we hand't been supressed or blocked, how much we could add to not just to ourselves but also to life, how we could have benefitted. Who knows perhaps insetad of opening of way after a certain age, we would be proceeding on the right path, realizing our life goal. Now we have a chance to do all this. We know what we will and will not do.

Simply asking our children every morning when starting the day "Have you dreamed?". To contribute to the revealing of the big vision inside them by asking often in the awake life, "What kind of goals do you have for today? Doing what will make you happy?" . It would really be wonderful wouldn't it?

Children and Nightmares

The trouble of many parents is children who have sleep problems due to nightmares and therefore spend the rest of the night in their parents' room. This, after a while may effect the relationship between the parents as well. About this I give my first warning to parents. Their not checking the movies beforehand that their kids will watch and not being careful with their conversations next to them. I had read a nice stroy in a book:

A father who is worried about her daughter goes to a therapist to get help about this. "I do my best for my daughter. For her not being afraid and sleeping peacefully at night. But whatever I do, she is still afraid. I read her strories every night . I tell her I'm by her side. Doesn't help."

When the therapist asks the father what he has been reading to her, he replies " I read 'The Girl with the red cap'. when she is afarid I tell her all is well."

"All right, and do you wonder why your daughter is so scared?"

"Sure, perhaps I must save her more time."

"That is not necessary. what I want to understand is when your daughter is so much scared, why you keep reading her 'Girl with the red cap' and why you choose such a scary story."

Really nice story. At the times when we think we do the right thing as parents, it's good to look at ourselves from outside. Most important of all is building a communication of quality. The child doesn't distinguish between real and dream. As a parent we must talk to the child, whatever they are watching or being scared about must be explained. Never say to the kid 'don't fear'. They will automatically fear. Best step for them will be to turn the feared thing to humor. Perhaps a little theater play at home will make them feel stronger. In the activities performed at the kindergartens, children may get afraid of the witches inside the fairy tales. In this situation perform the play at home. Show them the scared thing in the funniest way. Buy them a toy that they will like. Tell them you will be with them all night. Pay attention that their room gets decorated in a simple way and when they wake up in the night there is nothing around that will challange their imagination. Even lay on their bed and look at their room in the dark. Replace anything that would bother them. Don't use colored light and night lamp. talk about other kids indirectly. ow happy they are sleeping alone. Or that they carry this kind of fears but that they laugh realizing it's ridiculous. Do not ever judge or criticise them about the fear. Read the below text to them before they go to bed.

I let myself into the arms of sleep. Into a big white cloud... Light and warm. There my best protector Pamfilla waits for me...Strong...Big and clever...She loves me vey much...We play games with her.She takes me to very nice places in my dreams. Every night we live funny, surprising and interesting adventures with her. Then when our tour is over she brings me back. I slowly return to my bed... When I get in the big white cloud nobody sees me...I become invisible. I am visible only when I want...There I never get hungry or tired...

I learn new things and rest. There I become very powerful.. With my friend, we play and we talk. When i wake up in the morning I am rested and more grown. I start the day with joy. There are so many clouds that I will get in. Every night I get in one and dream. They are my clouds. I sometimes call my friends too. To play with them...Sometimes I stay alone...I let myself into the arms of sleep...Calm, comfortable and relaxed.
