As I child I had many many teddy bears in my bed so everyone was laughing that there was not enough space for me I guess, I just imagined that they can protect me? Who knows... Now I still have some teddy bears (I guess I even got one from my mother-in-law) and usually they are somewhere close to the bed (either in or under ). When I have a terrible nightmare, usually I just stick to my H but sometimes I just grab a teddy bear and hug it I don't know what it means, maybe just that we like teddy bears? Probably not but somehow I do not think that it is anything extremely extraordinary...
