My mom's health saved my son.

“Mum, I have been having a bad nightmare ever since the day we came back from the New York festival," my son said, but then I decided to ignore him as I thought he was just a child. Meanwhile, we watched so many scenes that could lead to one having severe nightmares, but then, being an adult, I felt everyone would act the same way.

While sleeping at night, my son had to run from his room to mine without my knowledge. I only saw him sleeping next to me in the morning.

“What are you doing in my bed?” I asked him, but then he said, “Mum! I tried to tell you about the kind of nightmare I always have, but then you paid deaf ears to it," my son accused me.

To be frank, I was not once attentive to his complaint about having bad dreams. Each time he complained, I ignored him. It got to one night when I left my room for his room just to confirm it myself. I tried to watch him as he was sleeping and discovered that he was shaking his legs just as if someone were pressing him. He immediately shouted and jumped up. This was how I got to know he was telling the truth.

“Who should I run to, and to whom should I tell what the problem is?” These were the words that were left over in my head.

I was alone with the kids as my husband had traveled for work. I tried to call him, but his phone number was not connecting. “Who else should I relate this issue to?” I tried to show deep concern, as I have witnessed what has happened to him.

“You need to come home now?” My aunt called, and her voice sounded so strange.

“What's the problem?” Although my aunt sometimes acts as if she is joking with me, this call shows something more serious than usual.

“Your mom is ill. You need to come home," she said.

“Are you joking?” She said,

“Why should I joke with something like this?" my aunt said.

I could not wait an inch, as I had to go home just to see my mom. I went home with my boy, as no one would take care of him until I came back. Meanwhile, my boy's sickness was still alarming, although we both traveled together.

I got to my parent's house and saw my mom lying down on her bed. I called my brothers and my sisters to come home as her sickness was alarming. I took her to the hospital just to take good care of her. After three days, she was better, and this made me feel better. We went home together from the hospital, along with my boy. As we got home, I laid down on the bed to calm my head. I sighted an object that caught my attention.

“Mum! What is that up there?” I asked my mom. She raised her head and said, This thing saved you when you were still a child. It has saved so many of my children as well as your dad.”.

“How will this thing that cannot talk save someone?” I objected.

“Do you think I'm lying?” Mum replied.

“How does it work?” I asked.

“You need to place it under your pillow when you know you have a bad nightmare," my mom replied.

“This cannot work, mom." I think it's just superstition," I replied.

“Don't worry, no one is praying for bad and chronic nightmares, but when it happens, I will have to show you how powerful it is,” my mom replied.

I later remembered that my son has chronic nightmares, which I don't need to hide. I told my mom, and she said I should consider it done with the help of this object.

“All you have to do is place it under his pillow and see the wonders that are going to happen,” my mom replied.

“Ok, I will try that," I replied.

”You don't need to say a word other than to give me kudos after trying it”, my mum replied.

That night I decided to place it under his pillow. He slept just like a newborn baby without shouting or giving any bad signs. My mum was also observing him. I refused to give thanks to my mum.

“Aren't you going to thank me?” My mum said.

“I think what was happening to him is natural but not bad spirit”, I replied.

“You don't know anything, child. This object I gave to you is capable of sending evil spirits away. What was happening was a result of the evil spirit tormenting him. You have to use it on him tonight and for three days”, my mum said.

That night I just wanted to carry out a simple experiment. I did not place it under his pillow before sleeping. When it was midnight, my boy began to behave that same way. He shouted just like someone that is being pursued. My mum woke up and asked if I placed it under his pillow.

“I did not place it, Mum”, I replied.

“Why?” Mum asked.

“I just wanted to see if it was the object that made him calm last night," I said.

“Now you have confirmed it, right? Place the object under my grandson's pillow," my mom replied.

I placed it under his pillow, and truly, my son slept so calmly until daybreak without shouting.

“Mum, I give you kudos." I finally accepted the wonders of the object.

“You will take it home and use it anytime you observe something strange, just like this," my mom replied.

When I was going home, I took the object home just to serve as a figure meant to deliver one from evil spirits.

My son was sleeping nicely after the third night. He never shouted at night and also slept so well and soundly. All thanks to my mom.

I am happy your mom's illness led to discovering a remedy for your son's nightmares. Who knows what could have happened if you didn't have to get to the village to attend to mom.

Aww, Grandma to the rescue. She really should join the paw patrol team. Hehehe.

I'm so glad you listened to your mom and gave it a try even though it sounded like mere superstition. Nice.
