Lily woke up from a nightmare last night. She woke up crying and was quite scared about it. She rarely wakes up at night and if she does she almost always goes right back to sleep on her own. She dreamt there were mice in her bed. She didn't want to sleep in her bed alone any more so she came and slept with me and daddy took her bed. In the morning she was still concerned about the mice so Daddy told her they were gone, she kept asking for more details and he told her he threw them out the window. The rest of the day they she kept bring the mice up saying that daddy took care of the mice and threw them out in the snow. She said they should go to someone else's house. She told me they were just playing in her bed but she didn't want them in there.
How do you explain a dream to an almost 3 year old? I told her it was like she was watching a movie that she was in but it wasn't real and the mice weren't really in her room. She just looked concerned and confused. She wasn't scared to sleep in her bed again though. We have no idea why she was thinking about mice.
