Home » Children » Little Children » Sometimes but very rarely my 6 year old has bad dreams. If I ask her what it was about she says she doesn’t remember. How do I comfort her ?
Bad dreams that sometimes may take the place of nightmares are not uncommon in children. They may come either because of sleeping after being very tired or due to certain inner fears that get projected in dreams.
You can discuss if the child has fears and reassure him. Make him / her sleep with some mantras or simply invoking peace as he is slipping into sleep. Normally they simply pass away as the child grows up.
Affectionately,
Alok da.

Arpan means to give, samarpan means to give completely without reserve.
To give means now one has left the situation, the difficulty, the problem entirely in the hands of the Divine. It means that one now obeys the Divine Will alone and lives no more for the satisfaction of one’s ego and desires….
Here is the complete Durga Stotra. You can see for yourself.
‘Hymn to Durga
(দুর্গা-স্তোত্র)

Mother Durga! Rider on the lion, giver of all strength, Mother, beloved of Siva! We born from thy parts of Power, we the youth of India, are seated here in thy temple. Listen, O Mother, descend upon earth, make thyself manifest in this land of India.
Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively in this way.
