Do you sleep with the light on? Maybe it’s time to take a page from ancient Japanese cultures by invoking Baku, the Eater of Dreams. This creature can transform the most terrifying nightmares–of natural disasters, falling, or being chased by a maniaK–into good fortune by special request. Just recite the following phrase before bed: ‘Devour, Oh Baku! Devour my evil dream!’ Or you can just turn that light off and let the K Team lead you bacK into the darK with this dreamy song.
