Sea monsters

Nick has a tendency to wake up Mom whenever he has an especially bad dream. Frequently he is able to describe the dream quite vividly. Last night was no exception.

"Mommy, I had a very bad dream about a sea monster. It was just about to bite me in the back when I woke up. I was hunting for treasure on a wooden submarine. The sea monster was green and scaley. It had red eyes and a pointy tongue."

And then some questions for Mom:

"Mom, is it true that I won't have the same dream again?"

And

"Mom, are sea monsters real?"
