A nightmare is like a scary movie that plays in your head while you’re sleeping. Just like when you watch a movie and sometimes feel scared, a nightmare can make you feel frightened, even though it’s not real. Think of it like a big, dark cloud that covers your happy dreams, making everything seem a bit spooky. But remember, just like clouds, nightmares pass, and the sunshine of happy dreams comes back.
Imagine your mind is a storybook that opens when you sleep. Sometimes, a page might have a story that’s not very nice, like a monster or a big, loud noise. This is a nightmare, but you can close the book anytime because you are the storyteller. When you wake up, you can turn the page to a happier story.
Consider your sleep to be like a playground where you have fun with your dreams. Sometimes, a nightmare is like a big, scary slide that you don’t want to go down. But just like on a playground, if you don’t like it, you can walk away and find something else fun to do. Nightmares are just a part of the playground, and they don’t last forever.
