I think that was someone else but yeah dream pillows are little pillows that you make and stuff by hand with herbs and things to promote sleep and good dreams, they can also be used for influencing prophetic dreams and other such things but for you two I would suggest just things to ward off evil and bring peace.
I'd also try and explain to your child that they are in control, even if you think they aren't or can't tell them that they have a power in dreams to change what happens. Tell them when they don't like what's happening to change it to something they do like, turn the monsters into fluffy animals and have a game of hide and seek, call the wind and let it teach you how to fly, anything. Sometimes telling kids with confidence that they have a gift is all they need.
Good advice. He understands a lot. Ill explain things and maybe he will master controlling his dreams better than me, lol, I just know how to make the dream stop.
Just give him a lot of ideas and talk to him in advance about what he's going to dream about. You could even insert yourself into it by saying that if he calls for you in your dreams then you will scare the monsters away. It's usually enough for kids to hear it from mommy that if he has a nightmare Superhero Mom will come and beat the bad guys up in their dreams.
My grandmother and my brother sometimes suffer from this as well. I didn't do any sort of ritual, but I did make what I like to call a sleep vial. I filled a glass vial with 3 bay leafs, 2 rose petals, a little piece of lettuce, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 teaspoon of each rosemary, thyme, chamomile, lavender, and sage, then 1 moonstone, and 2 tiny seashells. After adding all of that, charge it with your good energy and seal it with white candle wax before putting the top on. This is the strongest sleep spell I have. I hope it helps if you decide to use it.
That actually reminds me of a "ritual" my mom would do when I was worried or sick or scared and I had to go to sleep. We had this silck pillow with chinese dragons on it and they were all flying around the outside of the pillow with their heads facing inward to the centre where there was an orb like ornament. I always thought it was like the sun or a source of power that they all used and respected. My mom would tuck me into bed and I would lay on that pillow so my head was right ontop of that orb, she would sing to me and pray with me and stroke my hair until I was calm, all the while tellin me there was nothing to fear. All my childhood that pillow was a protection thing to me and I would feel better when I slept with it. Maybe adding that vial to a dream pillow and doing something similar will help.
