Keep a silver butter knife under your bed so that you can
keep away evil spirits causing nightmares in your dreams.
Submitter comment:
As I screamed out my mother came running into the bedroom.
She woke me up and I told her I had a nightmare. She said, "I am
going to get a butter knife to put under your bed so that you
will not have nightmares." The idea of the silver knife is
supposed to keep evil spirits away.
