I've always had nightmares of death, people dying, me dying, after-death, etc. since I was in junior high. I guess after so many years I just got use to it... And trust me, it took years. Last October I got a brand-new mattress and box spring still in the plastic, never used or anything. 2 weeks ago I gave the mattress to my sister for her 6-year-old son to use since I was moving into a smaller place and didn't need it.
Ever since my nephew started sleeping on the mattress, he has been waking up crying numerous times during the night, terrified out of his mind dreaming about people dying in much the same same way I dream. My sister figured out it was the mattress, and demands for me to do something about it so everybody can sleep at night again and a mothers scorn is a veeeery scarything.
What I'm trying to figure out is what is going on?? I have no clue how my old mattress can pass my nightmares to a 6-year-old kid and don't really understand how to solve the problem if I don't know what it is.
My theory is evil mattress so I pretty much am clueless on the subject. Does anyone else have any suggestions what might have happened??

Hmm, that is strange.
I guess the first thing to do is actually check that it is the mattress. Ask them to get your nephew to sleep elsewhere, and see if he still gets nightmares or not. Perhaps even ask your sister to sleep on the mattress, and see if she gets nightmares.
Of course, it could just be that your nephew is having nightmares. Since I became a teenager and then a adult, I've found that I've had a lot less nightmares than when I was a kid. Searching on google, it does seem to suggest that children do have more nightmares than adults.
How about buying your nephew a dream catcher?

Evil may not be it? Perhaps a spiritual entity is attached to the mattress? Try smudging or some purification technique around it if the dream catcher idea doesn't seem to work.

A question I have though is have your nightmares stopped since you gave them the mattress? I'm kinda assuming yes since you're asking but you didn't say otherwise.

Amethyst, lavender and peppermint have anti-nightmare properties, as well as general protection, if these are available they might be useful whether it is the mattress or not.
I agree with the others though, you should try and test if it is the mattress or not so you can choose what method would work best for your situation

Thank-you for the replies =^.^= We did test my nephew sleeping someplace else, and it seems he only gets the nightmares when he sleeps there. And yes, I do still get the nightmares. I'm just use to them though, and it took me 11 years to do that. I tried suggesting to my sister getting a new mattress and she just glared. But we'll try what we have around for tonight, and pick-up everything else that can help tomorrow

the idea of the mattress possibly being haunted might be part of the reason for the nightmares. The mind is a tricky tool, and if deceived correctly, will create its own truths. It is like a self fulfilling prophesy.

As Zab said, zabazor the idea of the mattress possibly being haunted might be part of the reason for the nightmares. The mind is a tricky tool, and if deceived correctly, will create its own truths. It is like a self fulfilling prophesy. A thought-form in effect, could be generating the prolonged effect. My advice mattress-girl, would be to do anything that would make you feel that the embodiment of evil within the mattress is gone or weak. Then by your feeding it, it would be poisoned with impotential. : )

My guess would be not that it is haunted, evil, or anything of the sort, but that it has absorbed so much energy from you and your nightmares, that it has plenty to effect the kid (kids are generally more susceptible to that sort of thing). Kind of like when my friend gave me my first Tarot deck, she had to clean out her own energies first so her energy wouldn't effect my readings. My suggestion would be to place a few clear quartz crystals on the mattress for about a day with the intent of drawing the negitive energies out of the bed and into the crystals. Later you can purify the crystals themselves. If the child has heard it is because of the mattress that he is getting nightmares, perhaps let him watch and make it very ceremonious, perhaps even make gestures and mutter under your breath in a way that convinces HIM you are cleaning out the mattress. If it helps, you could even set the mattress against a wall and beat it with a broom like you are beating dust out of a rug. I think the biggest thing will be to get him to believe it because if he is still scared, even if you do clean out all of your energy, his own mind will start making nightmares.

I agree with Mystic White Raven that your nephew might be simply scared because of what he heard. It is like when I was a child, I used to believe that there was a monster in my wardrobe, watching me. My older sister cured this by pretending to get rid of it, letting me listen. It worked and I never thought there was one there again. So try Mystic White Raven's idea, because that most likely the problem.
