Fall Asleep Again After a Nightmare

ur bedroom window is a tree branch that's been blown by the wind against the glass.
 * 1)  Do not think about the nightmare. Zone out completely. If that is not possible, think happy thoughts or just general thoughts. What are going to do tomorrow? Oh yeah, you promised you'd help Dad paint the fence. You'll soon get bored of this and fall asleep again. Let's hope your next dream is a good one!

Tips

 * If you get caught going to the kitchen for water by a parent or sibling, don't come out with this cover story about checking if the dog is OK. Just explain that you had a nightmare and were just going to get some water.
 * If you were drowned in a nightsweat and couldn't find any pyjamas, a simple t-shirt and a pair of shorts will do. Nothing too warm, though.

Warnings

 * In addition to not thinking about your nightmare, don't think about a scary movie that you've seen, a scary book that you've read etc.
