My mom used to tell me that I had accidentally gotten onto the "bad dream side" of my pillow, and just flip it over and everything would be fine again.

I didn't grow up here, though, maybe Brits have smaller mouths? ;)

I guess I grew up pretty different. When I had nightmares as a child, my parents gave me a pistol that shot suction tipped darts. I can still remember shooting into my closet sometimes to get the creepy crawlies.

Sort of off topic but they don't prescribe Paregoric anymore it seems. When my kids were small we used to give it to them for tummy upsets or rub it on their gums for teething. Worked great!

Going to school we were allowed three cuts a year without a doctors note. The guys living off campus circumvented that by sending a roommate to the school nurse with a tale of diarrhea. She unfailingly responded with a dispensation and a large bottle of Paregoric. We ended up with a shelf-load of full bottles because as students in Boston we had 99 directions, but down wasn't one of them. ;)
