Me: "You did, huh? What was it about?"
Simone: "A kid had a big, a big ball, a big round Earth ball. And he was bouncing it, and then the floor broke. That was a bad dream."
Me: "Yes, that sounds like a very bad dream. I'm sorry you had a bad dream, but you should close your eyes and go to sleep now. It's time for me to go to sleep, too."
Simone: "But I don't want to have a bad dream again."
Me: "Well, maybe you can try to dream about something else. What do you want to dream about?"
Simone: "I don't know."
Me: "How about cookies?"
Simone: "Yes."
Me: "OK, close your eyes and dream about cookies. Chocolate chip cookies."
Simone: "I want to dream about aliens."
Me: "Aliens and cookies?"
Simone: "Yes."
Me: "OK. You can dream about teaching the aliens how to make chocolate chip cookies. Does that sound good?"
Simone, closing her eyes: "Yes. OK."
