Dream Jar

I read a story today that has a solution for bad dreams: Decorate a jar and fill it with slips of paper describing good and funny things to think about. Keep it close to your bed. Then, when the bad dream comes, pull out a paper and read it. Transform your bad dream to good.

So....Ella gave me a list of ideas...happy thoughts to turn around her bad dreams.
