Dreams Don't Sleep aka Unsleeping Child

Setting:

Last night - Laying down with the Princess, in my bed, trying to get her to sleep for the night.

Pops her head up from her pillow and...

P - Mommy, my dreams aren't sleeping!

My dreams aren't sleeping!!

M - Dreams don't sleep sweetie.

They happen when WE sleep.

P - Oh.

Puts her head back down.

2 seconds later her head pops up again...

P - Mommy, my dreams aren't working,

my dreams aren't working!!

M - You need to go to sleep to dream.

P - Oh.

Puts her head back down.

2 seconds later...
P - There they are Mommy! My dreams are working!

A couple minutes later, Miss Figid still can't get comfortable.

She looks up at me, finger in front of her mouth, and whispers...

P - SSHH, Mommy, someone isn't sleeping. SSHH Someone isn't sleeping.

I whisper back...

M - Who's not sleeping?

P - Me. (as she points to herself) I'm not sleeping.

M - OK, then go to sleep.

P - OK
