imagination only

My younger brother is a child with a lot of imagination, likes to play with cardboard boxes and imagine thant he is on a plane and flying across the sea and to have adventures in other countries such as Jules Verne's books but sometimes I think his imagination leads him nightmares at bedtime and that's when everyone in the house woke up and go to his room concerned and surprised at the stories he tells about monsters under his bed and strange noises. Then one day my parents decided that my brother needed the company of a pet, first thought of a dog but my mom said they were very noisy and very messy then concluded that a cat would be perfect because when the cat would sleep with my brother.
The days passed and no better, still waking up scared and it was then that I decided to show him that did not have to be afraid and I proposed changing room, he agreed and that night I slept in his room with his cat and in my room. The night went normal but a noise under the bed but I woke up I was so shocked because I thought immediately that the cat was playing out there looking for it so my hand down and felt like his tongue licked my hand as I became more relaxed to accommodate and I I slept all night.
I can not believe what I saw the other day on the floor of the room, the cat was dead and had a written message that read: not only cats lick.
obviously we moved house but my brother never knew the truth, the only thing i could say to him was: when i woke up your cat was dead.

Treatment for Nightmares

It has been suggested that sufferers of nightmares could benefit from the ability to be aware they are indeed dreaming. A pilot study was performed in 2006 that showed that lucid dreaming therapy treatment was successful in reducing nightmare frequency. This treatment consisted of exposure to the idea, mastery of the technique, and lucidity exercises. It was not clear what aspects of the treatment were responsible for the success of overcoming nightmares, though the treatment as a whole was successful.

Australian psychologist Milan Colic has explored the application of principles from narrative therapy with clients' lucid dreams, to reduce the impact not only of nightmares during sleep, but also depression, self-mutilation, and other problems in waking life. Colic found that clients' preferred direction for their lives, as identified during therapeutic conversations, could lessen the distressing content of dreams, while understandings about life and even characters from lucid dreams could be invoked in "real" life with marked therapeutic benefits.

This treatment works for all nightmares even the worst like the typical "When you go early to bed and suddenly, the next morning you are having breakfast and your mom tells you I´m sorry WHEN I WOKE UP, YOUR CAT WAS DEAD.!
