[Martycoo]

I don't know if this will help, and I think you must have tried some of these already, but here is what we have been doing with our Tara Roisin (pronounced "rosheen") who has had episodes of frequent nightmares sicne she turned 2.5 yrs old. She doesn't want me or her dad to leave her side at bed time at all.

At bed time we normally spend about an hour reading stories to her from a book of her choice (we have put a bookshelf within her reach that holds about 20 books). We also play a book on tape for her and this helps tremendously on a bad night. We also play music that she likes before we say night night. Leaving a light on helps a lot too. (This is not a night light but a 20 watt table lamp). In her crib she also has quite a few favourite friends who (in her own words) guard her against nightmare too.
