Standing up for yourself, nightmares and the dark, sentence 3
Nightmares can feel very real, but they are only dreams and cannot hurt you; turning on a light, going to a parent, calm music and imagining a better ending all help, and monsters under the bed are not real.
Who acts: Nightmares, monsters · What happens: feel, be, not hurt, turn, go, imagine · To what, where: dreams, you, light, ending
