1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Hey, baby. Are you okay? What's the matter? Oh, sweetheart. I'm sorry, come here. No,

2
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:34,000
come here. It's okay. Are you okay being touched right now? Okay. Yeah, come here. Is it the

3
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:44,000
same bad dream you've been having? Or a different one? Yeah, just let me hold you. Snuggle up,

4
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:57,000
or it's nice and safe. I'll stroke your hair. No, we don't have to go back to sleep right

5
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:06,000
away. Just leave here with me. Do you want to tell me about the dream? Or you can just

6
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:34,000
ramble about random things if you want. I'll be right here listening. Yeah, I'm listening.

7
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:47,000
I'm still awake. I'm really sorry that these dreams have been bothering you. I'm really

8
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:56,000
glad I can be here for you when you wake up. I know you already know this, but I'm going

9
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:06,000
to say it again, okay? Okay. It's just a dream. It's not real. And nothing in that dream can

10
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:18,000
hurt you. You're safe, right now, with me. I won't let anyone hurt you, or anything.

11
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:27,000
You can stay in my arms for as long as you want. I'll just hold you, stroke your hair,

12
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:39,000
rub your back, give you kisses. It's okay to be scared of dreams. Sometimes when it's

13
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:51,000
late at night, things seem scarier, more overwhelming. But as soon as the sun starts shining, everything

14
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:02,000
will seem okay again. And until that happens, I'm here. I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm

15
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:14,000
your sunshine, but I'll be as close as I can be. I can be a nightlight. How about that?

16
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Sometimes, when I have nightmares, I watch a show that makes me laugh, or I watch YouTube

17
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:37,000
videos that calm me down. Or sometimes I just think about happy things. Like, I don't know,

18
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
my happy things are different than your happy things, but my happy things are puppies and

19
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:53,000
kittens. Basically any baby animal, especially if they're being silly and falling over. I

20
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:05,000
like thinking about food. Good food. Mexican food. I like thinking about how the day is

21
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
going to go tomorrow. It might be good, it might be bad, but it's usually nothing as

22
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,000
bad as what's in my nightmares. So sometimes nightmares are really realistic, and that's

23
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,000
what makes them scary. And sometimes they're just crazy. Sometimes once you start thinking

24
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000
about your nightmare, you realize that it was really silly, and it was just the you

25
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000
and the dream that was scared. And the real you doesn't have to be scared. However you

26
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
choose to deal with your nightmares, I'm here. I'm here to lay with you, and talk to you,

27
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:56,000
and cuddle you for as long as you want. If you want, we can go out. We can go get some

28
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:06,000
ice cream, or we can just drive around. Or we can go on a walk. Yeah, I kind of just

29
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:15,000
want to stay in bed too. I don't like that you have nightmares. Believe me, I don't.

30
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:24,000
But can I tell you something? I really like this time that we get to spend together. I

31
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:35,000
really like being awake with you at whatever ungodly time it is. It feels like it's just

32
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:46,000
you and the whole world. It feels very intimate. I really like knowing that I can help you.

33
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
I like knowing that you trust me enough to tell me what's going on, to hold onto me when

34
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:04,000
you need to. And you look sleepy. No, it's okay. You can drift off. I'll fall asleep

35
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,000
too, I'm sure. I just want to hold you and make sure you're safe first. Make sure you

36
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:27,000
fall asleep okay. Yeah. Yeah, you can stay in my arms. You can stay right here. Just

37
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:35,000
listen to me breathe. Listen to my heartbeat.

38
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Okay.

39
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Okay.

40
00:07:35,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Okay.
