Several months ago I gave my 8 year old granddaughter, Emily, a
DreamCap to wear at night when she goes to bed to help protect
against nightmares and various imaginary monsters and the
boogeyman. From the very first night, she has loved her DreamCap!
She puts it on before she enters her bedroom at bedtime for extra
protection, and usually falls asleep with it on. It gives her a sense
of control and peace of mind. She is at the age that her imagination
runs wild at bedtime, and this has proven to be a wonderful tool in
helping her get through this challenging period in all children's lives.
I highly recommend the DreamCap for all children in this age group
who are plagued with nightmares and overactive imaginations. It
has proven to be highly effective for Emily, and I just wish that I'd
had one available to me for my daughter, and myself as well, at
that age!

I can't tell you how grateful we are for the dream cap! It is without a doubt the best thing I have ever found for helping children go to sleep at night. With my husband being stationed in Iraq , my daughter has had an enormous amount of anxiety and has had terrible dreams since he left. That was up until I received the dream cap. The wonderful story and the soothing Lullaby, set the most relaxing atmosphere for my little girl to go to bed to. But it's the dream cap itself, she will not let go of. Every night, she absolutely has to have her dream cap either on her head, or at least in her hands. She KNOWS that she is going to have a good night of sleep, when she has her special cap. I can't thank you enough for what you have given our family; I only know that millions of children can benefit from this absolutely adorable idea! Thank you again for giving my daughter (and myself) peaceful sleep once again. Jackely Berruz - Virginia Beach, VA ____________________________________________________________________
"Parents of children at my two day care centers, who have listened to the DreamCap Lullaby
on the CD, love it! I highly recommend it as a novel and positive product!"

My girls (I have 3) loved the story and song. In fact, as soon as
the woman started singing they said, "We want that song tonight,
mom!" They listened to it several times before going to sleep and
were singing it. Then they put their dream caps on and were ready
to go to sleep with their music playing (your song). When they woke
up, I asked them how they slept. My 5 year old said, "Great!"
As far as I am concerned, the whole idea is great!!!

I have to share a story with you. While I was listening to your CD my
3 1/2 yrs old son was enjoying the song he kept asking to repeat it
over and over. I think you really made something that will change the
world of kids. Not to mention a break for parents.

What Ella thinks about her DreamCap: "I love my DreamCap. It keeps all the
bad dreams and nightmares away. I like the bears on the cap and it is comfortable.

I wear my DreamCap to keep me safe from the dark and keeps my head warm
when I sleep at night. Now with my DreamCap, I don't need my night light on.
I wear my DreamCap every night and take it wherever I go for sleepovers.

I just wanted to thank you for this great product. While my three-year-old daughter Sadie never
really complained of having bad dreams, she did have reservations about sleeping in her own bed.
She frequently said that she was afraid to sleep by herself and it was a huge chore getting her to fall
asleep at night. When I first showed her the dreamcap, she was so excited she put it on right away.
She begged me to put in the CD so she could listen to it. Well, she loved it so much that she listened
to it about 10 times and then fell asleep in the middle of the afternoon! Since then, she has requested
to listen to the CD and wear her dreamcap before going to bed each night. There is no more fussing
trying to get her to settle down enough to sleep. By the end of the CD she is fast asleep in her own
bed, and so am I! Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the dream cap for Wrena. Here is a picture of her with it. :) She loves it...ALOT! She has been listening to the CD every night.
I do have a suggestion though -- it is VERY tight on her head (maybe she has a big noggin') and doesn't stay on at night and if it does it leaves a tight ring. She's adamant that it is fine though. Is there a way you can do "sizes" or have it designed to "tie" behind the head like the doo-rag we suggested and talked about? I was also thinking maybe if it had more elastic? Not sure....I also thought about making it out of some sort of REALLY soft fabric -- but that might get expensive.
Anyway just offering up some thoughts - take it for what it's worth.
The main thing is IT WORKS and she LOVES IT!!!! :) Thank you so much!!!!

My son came into my home office the other day when I was writing up the product and speaking with you on the phone. The cap was on my desk and he started to ask about it. That night he said that he knew he was going to have a bad dream and needed the cap. I gave it to him and he slept fine. The next night he kept it under his pillow to put on when he needed it. You have to love the power of suggestion! :) Thanks for a great idea.

I am writing to thank you very much for your ingenious invention!! My 5 year old LOVES her dreamcap and the beautiful heart-warming song! She used to fight to go to sleep every night always wanting somebody to "sleep with her"! Now, as long as her cap is on and her song is playing, bedtime is peaceful and enjoyable. Two weeks ago she spent a weekend at her grandma's house with her 6 year old cousin. Her cousin said that she didn't want to go to sleep because she had bad dreams. My daughter started singing her the song and told her that she would not have bad dreams anymore!! Thanks for the wonderful bedtime peace!!

I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing product. Tyler is 8 and he has had bad dreams thinking someone was going to come in the window after him. He would always fuss when it was time for bed. Now with the dream cap he will put it on and he will fall alseep just about anywhere. Thank you so much for putting my nephew at ease.

Well your dream cap idea was great .. Normally the kids have trouble sleeping at night cause they have bad dreams. Sometimes about ugly monsters in there room or that they heard a noise and they won't sleep but i convinced them to wear the cap and it was like a shield. I told them that god wanted me to give them this cap to put on cause he blessed it with magical powers and no one could ever hurt them when they wore it and that all the things that were in there dreams that were bad couldn't touch them ever while it was on there head.i told them it had so much power in it that all the bad things would cry and run out of there dreams cause they couldn't handle all the power it had and all the power it gave them for wearing it. so yes my children now think with this cap at night they are the most powerful kids and now they can sleep with out being scared. Thank you so very much for your invention.

This story is about our 5 year old son Aaron. He often complained about being scared
and having bad dreams. My wife and I would regularly make multiple trips to get Aaron
back in bed. Sometimes he had difficulty falling asleep because of the scary thoughts.
Other times he would wake up crying due to bad dreams. We have always been careful
to expose out boys to age appropriate entertainment. For that reason, we knew Aarons
problem was not from external influences. We prayed with Aaron asking God to take
away the bad dreams. However, it did not stop his young mind from imagining all sorts
of scary things that bothered him.
I saw an article about the Dream Cap in a military magazine and showed it to my wife.
Our first impression was that the Dream Cap was a cute idea that had some potential for
a little boy whose world is so concrete. Realizing we had nothing to lose, we decided to
give it a try. The Dream Cap arrived and we played the CD telling Ben's story. A little
grin came to Aaron's face when he heard the story and saw the Dream Cap. He
desperately wanted to get rid of the bad dreams and was willing to try the cap. That night
he went to bed with his new cap on. He popped out of bed just once at the beginning of
that night. We reminded him that he had to believe in the cap's ability to keep out bad dreams. Aaron returned to bed and fell asleep. He has been sleeping through the night
since. Occasionally we remind him how lucky he is to have a Dream Cap that keeps out
bad dreams. The Dream Cap has been a real blessing that has brought peace to our little
boy's life and our home.

I just wanted to say thank you for providing such a creative product for us parents to use to get our
little ones to sleep through the night! I am looking forward to trying it out and cross my fingers it will work.
Thank you also for all the good work you and the rest of the military do to help protect and defend our
country. Ileane Frank - Green Brook, NJ

Thank you. The Dreamcap has been the best thing that I ever purchased. My 3 year old son has been experiencing night terrors for the past 2 years. Every night he wakes up with eyes wide open screaming uncontrollably with a blood curling scream, and he is inconsolable – no matter what we try. These “fits” usually last about 20-30 minutes long. We tried everything that doctors and psychologists suggested, but nothing worked. We ordered the dreamcap about three weeks ago and he has not woken up yet. I guess the power of belief and suggestion is very overpowering. Me and my husband are so thankful that we can now have a nights rest, and my son can finally get a goods nights sleep. Thank you so very much. Mariaelena Ferranto - North Babylon, NY ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for your concern in seeing if the dream cap has helped. I'm glad I came across the article. Bryce used to wake up terrified of bad dreams in the middle of the night. Since he received his dream cap and after a few reminders to really "believe" in the dream cap, he's stopped waking up from nightmare's. He's even told me that we should get all his friends a dream cap so they won't have bad dreams. He recently said that his dream cap even works when he doesn't believe in it but I think it's due to his belief in it that he doesn't have to think about it anymore. Thanks for a great idea!

My husband is a soldier in the Michigan National Guard and is currently deployed overseas. We have four small children at home but Devyn, our eight year old son is daddy's little boy. Each time his dad is gone overseas, Devyn has terrible nightmares. This is my husband's third deployment and the dreams have become a lot more intense. Devyn had been sleeping with me for over three months when I received an email about the Dream Caps. Out of total curiosity and the need for a good night sleep, I ordered a Dream Cap for Devyn and also my five year old daughter. The very first night Devyn wore his dream cap, he stayed in his bed all night! It has been a blessing. Devyn loves his Dream Cap and wears it to bed every night. Only if it 'falls off' does he return to my side in bed. And to top it all off, Mr. Ramey called us personally to check on how everything was going. People like Mr. and Mrs. Ramey are what make life just a little bit easier. They understand what military families go through and took it upon themselves to do what they could do help. Thank you so much! Michele L. from Hancock, MI _________________________________________________________________________ My name is Julie Weinert and I have a 5 year old son named Evan. For years he has struggled with sleeping through the night. He would wake up almost every single night between the hours of 1AM and 4AM. Needless to say, none of us got a good night's sleep. I struggled with falling back to sleep after it had been interrupted and literally would lose 2-3 hours each night. I work and go to school, as well as a parent, so you can imagine the struggle it takes to juggle that with even a full night's sleep. I know that your body replenishes the serotonin levels at night and not getting enough sleep really affected my memory, concentration and I am sure many other things that I didn't realize. It was affecting all 3 of us. My husband is a foot surgeon and for him, sleep is imperative for the safety of his patience. We just started to think that this was the way that it was always going to be. Just part of being parents and that was that.
Until one day, I was on the website of one of our local radio stations and just happen to catch a blog from one of the DJ's. She mentioned the "dream cap" in her blog. This DJ is a very trusted radio personality here in Michigan that I have been listening to for years and years. I knew that if SHE said it was something great, then it was. I immediately went to the website and did not hesitate. I just ordered it. She said all that I needed to know. I got it in the mail a few days later. We sat down with our son, we told him all about the dream cap and how special it was and we all sang the song together, we played the CD. We made it very special. We kept telling him how we wished that we had a dream cap too. It made him feel very special. We received the dream cap several weeks ago and he has slept through the night, every single night since. Seriously!!!!! Another "bonus" was that we always "battled" with him to get him to go to bed in the first place. Now that he has the dream cap, it is not such a struggle anymore. He gets his bath, he does his normal routine, we read him a book and off to bed he goes. No more crying, no more "negotiating" to stay up just 5 more minutes. He knows when it is bed time, it is going to be okay. I can not thank the makers of the dreamcap enough. I have spoken to the wonderful couple that has created this product. They have 4 children of their own and they seem like the nicest people on the planet. They have personally contacted our family to see how it has been working out for us. I can not think of ANY company that has ever called me to see how something is working for me. That says it all. They care and they want to know what they can do to improve on what they have created. I can not think of one single thing. We absolutely LOVE this! I think this is one of the best ideas I have ever heard of and the proof is in this testimonial. We have all slept every single night since he first put that on his head and we know that he feels safe and secure now and that is priceless. Thank you to Jim and Terry for this marvelous and truly life changing idea. I don't mean to sound corny, but it has changed our lives. You can not appreciate how important it is to have quality and sound sleep until you don't have it anymore and that is why I can say it changed our lives.
Thank you so much and I hope I can share my story with anyone who had the same problem that we were having. I just wished I would have found this years ago, but I am grateful that I found it now. I am normally not the type of person to write a testimonial, not because I don't want to, I just never seem to have the time. But I will take the time for this product and for this company. If I can help someone else and "pay if forward" then it was worth it. I believe when you find something great, you should share with others. It is the right thing to do. I want to share this with anyone else who struggled with this like we did. I know in the grand scheme of things it is a small problem compared to so many other issues, but like everything else it is relative. For us, it really was a major problem and there are enough things to struggle with and this is just one less thing to have to worry about now. Thanks for listening and thank you so much for one of the best products I have EVER purchased.

Georgia, who has not been able to sleep in her own bed alone for about a week is now sleeping in her own bed with the dream cap! We have to go to sleep with her in her bed and she does wake up several times as we try to leave but the frantic nature of her pleas has subsided I am happy to say. She would, of course, like a book to go along with her dream cap and she would also like to order a bigger size because when it slips off she can't find it in the dark!!! She has lots of ideas as you can see. We are working on the believing part so that she can just let us go and fall asleep on her own. I feel like I did when she was 1 and I would lie on the floor holding her hand in her crib until she drifted off. 2 steps forward 1 back as they say. She absolutely is getting attached to her cap. It's just like the "transitional object" of D.W. Winnicott. If a child believes something has the magical soothing or protective quality of the mother it works. Usually kids create this spontaneously with their blankie or bunny. You are helping them do it all over again at a latter stage with the caps. Anyhow, I wish you well with this endeavor. Thanks, Pat - Newton, MA _________________________________________________________________________ I gave the girls their new caps last nite they love them, they told me they listen to the CD every nite when they go to sleep. (i didn't know) My little one Kenzzie (she is the one i actually got the cap for) told me the story, and sang the song. she really loves it and was all excited and really thrilled with her new cap. now i need another one for my youngest grandchild, jillie, she is 2 1/2 she wants one too. and kenzzie and morgan won't give up the one for the dollies. hahaha you had said you would send a few of the new ones that came in too small for the girls to play with. that would probably be a good use for the ones that are too small for real kids, send them one for their teddy bears or baby dolls, my grandchildren truly love them. i gave them the new caps last nite and soon as they got home they made their mom take a picture, when she sends it to me i will forward it to you. just wanted to let you know, how happy your "dream cap" has made my little Kenzzie. thanks again, jo anna waldon - parkville, MD _________________________________________________________________________ Just wanted to update you on my son Chase. We tried the Dream Cap lullaby last night in my kids room. All three were fast asleep in a matter of seconds. On top of that, it is currently 8 am here and Chase is STILL IN BED.....his own bed!!!! I am so glad that we were referred to your website!!! Thanks soooo much for all you guys do! Teresa Bryan - Swartz Creek, MI _______________________________________________________________________ I was speaking with my daughter tonight and she said the youngest went to bed really well tonight and the older guy was telling his Dad about them on the phone and said, "I think they really work." I checked on sizes and she said if they were a little larger it would be better. Thank you so much for doing this for her and us. We really appreciate it. Take care. Pat Berdusco. __________________________________________________________________________________
At age 4 1/2, Jack's imagination became really active and he began to fear being in his room alone at night to sleep, or even during the day to play. He wanted either mom or dad to sleep with him. (With children ages 6, 4, and 2, we have always found co-sleeping, while an easy way out in the middle of the night, not to be a practical or helpful option for any party concerned.) While we did not mind lying with him to comfort him after we had read books, etc... we both have too much to do with 2 other young children to go on to bed with him. It became a very frustrating issue for us and a rough time for Jack as well. He began waking up at night screaming and scared and could not go back to sleep unless we 'helped' him by staying with him. This was very difficult. The pediatrician advised leaving a small light on (already doing), soft music (ditto), and basically just waiting it out as it was a phase he would grow out of. So I got on the internet and did a search for sleep problems or scary dreams kids or something and came upon the dream cap website. Jack was really excited about the cap! It has given him some confidence and a ritual. While he still needs lots of encouragement, the cap is one of the tools we have found useful on our road to getting him to sleep all night independently again.

Hello there, I just wanted to drop by and tell you that M'Kenna loves the Dream Cap and she loves to put it on before she climbs in bed. We have been wearing almost a week and She sleeps thought the night like a rock!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful creation. I dont know what I would do with out it. Thank You! Tara - San Antonio, TX _________________________________________________________________________
I am so glad I found your Dream Cap ad on the Internet. It must be close to a year now. We could not get our great granddaughter to sleep at night as I explained to you at the time. When we received the "Dream Cap" we played the recording and Nancy Marie just wept. I explained to her about the "Cap" and she wore it every night until just lately. Now she sleeps with it on her pillow. Thank you, also, for the extra caps you sent. She just loves them and believe me they work. When we talked you felt she might be a little young. She knew what I was talking about and wanted the cap on immediately. She is now 2 1/2 and is sleeping all through the night. Thank you and God Bless. Nancy Roberts

Here is a picture of Alex, 10 and Maddie, 5. Thank you very much for the dream caps. I was most impressed by the impact that it has had on my ten year old son. I was not sure how he would feel about the dream cap until he took his 5 year old sisters and started wearing it himself. It has helped him establish a bedtime routine that helps him get off to sleep with out any worries about nightmares. This is a great product that I will be sure to pass on to other parents. Thanks Again.
