How do you explain dreams to a 2 1/2 year old? Yesterday morning, my son woke up at 6:15, upset and wanting to change his pajama’s. I tried to calm him down and talk to him and after a few minutes I was able to figure out that he had a bad dream. Regardless, there was no reasoning with him - he had to have those new pj’s on.

After trying to explain what dreams were to him, the puzzled look on his face said it all - the concept of dreaming is just wierd.

    One night in a fit of desperation, my wife told my daughter that dreams are like TV, and she just stopped on a bad channel. It seemed to stick. Now when she wakes up with bad dreams, we tell her to change the channel to Noggin or PBS…B-).
