My daughter taught her children a little prayer to prevent bad dreams. It is tucked into the middle of their traditional bedtime prayers. The children are now 11 and 9 years old and they believe this little prayer works.
My 4 1/2 year old grandaughter had them teach it to her when she was 3 so she would quit having bad dreams. She also believes that it works, and is teaching it to her 2 year old sister.
"Now I lay me down to sleep..."
then
"Dear Lord Jesus come into this room.
Only give me good thoughts no bad thoughts.
Only give me good dreams no bad dreams."
then
"God bless mom and dad ....God bless everyone in the whole wide world"
"In Jesus name we pray. Amen"
I don't understand why, but it does seem to put an end to bad dreams
