Sleeping with stuffed animal = better dreams!

Argitoth

I'm a 17-year old duud and yes, I sleep with a stuffed animal... eek2

don't make fun.

I believe it makes my dreams better. Can anyone else back this up?

Well, if you think it helps... I may try a monkey my friend gave me at the Chinese Year of the Monkey.

All in the name of science... grin

Mr. Fluffy has a purpose in life--FINALLY!

Well... it's not a FACT that sleeping with a stuffed animal improves your dreaming, but I suggest you try it and see if you notice anything.

....Uh oh....Mr. Fluffy's purpose in life is now in jeopardy....I must research this right away!

It could probably work if there's a sentimental bond between the owner and the stuffed animal--one of my close friends had a red stuffed dog that I would always sleep with when I went over, and I remember having very vivid dreams and a few LDs in there somewhere.... smile

Maybe I could bring out my old elephant I had when I was 3 or 4. Dunno where he is though, I'll have to find him later.

The only stuffed toy I ever liked was my stuffed aeroplane, and I slept with that so often as a little girl that it broke beyond repair... so I don't have any stuffed toys to sleep with anymore. sadblauw

placebo...

Of course it's placebo, that's not even something worth discussing. Buuuut that's giving all male in the room a nice excuse to sleep for a week with their teddy bears; so let us have our nostalgia and join in!

What about fond childhood memories? (at least for most people). Most of us were comfortable and stuff so I guess maybe the animal calms us because it brings us back to that time. I sleep with one of those hideous pillows (fuzzy bright-hued), so I guess I could pretend its a stuffed animal...

Well, I'll tell you one thing. This is really the first time in my lifetime using a stuffed animal. I never used them when I was just a little noob.

Sleeping with a stuffed animal seems to make everything calm and cozy so I feel more comfortable when sleeping and thus have more pleasent dreams. I should try having a lucid dream where I talk to the stuffed animal. How much more special would a stuffed animal be if you could talk to it?

No, really

It's just a nice excuse and a bit of faith.

Also: stuffed animals are nice, positive and nostalgic, that helps the placebo effect to work. It's really comfortable spend time scratching it's head and daydreaming. I rather have a real puppy, but hell, real puppies usually can't go inside (and it's not very nice to sleep all night with something that's going to die before you do).
