Children's imagination and creativity often produce very realistic dreams, and his growing strong emotions will also increase the pressure of dreams. Because for children, the boundary between reality and imagination is not clear, these dreams will be particularly real. In addition, anxiety and stress are also the causes of nightmares. Nightmares are mostly related to factors such as excessive mental stress and psychological tension during the day. Children are often beaten and scolded during the day, frightened, or prone to nightmares after watching scary TV and books before going to bed.
