To sleep, perchance to dream

Beckett Gladney

Casey was having bad dreams for a while. I knit him some special socks to wear to bed, which he calls 'sleep socks'. I told him they could help him in his dreams; if he can remember to wiggle his toes if he gets scared in his dream, he'll feel his sleep socks on his feet and know that he's really safe no matter what's happening in his dream.

He's worn a pair of sleep socks to bed every night since then and told me that only once he's had a bad dream since he 's been wearing the socks. He says they work pretty well, but he hasn't told anybody else about the socks' special powers; he just tells them that they are 'sleep socks' and leaves it at that.
