cant remember,
I'm so sorry, brother. A child's (or adult's) bed should feel like a place of safety, especially since we're so vulnerable when we are asleep. To be robbed of that...just breaks my heart. I know so many survivors here (including me, to a small extent) have this problem.
There are a lot of good suggestions here by other survivors. Someone should write up a list of these suggestions for future reference.
I used to have lots of nightmares, though I don't think they were connected to my sexual abuse. Something that made me feel safe was to have my dog sleep next to me in bed at night. Don't know if that helps anyone, but it helped me a little.
Take care, my brothers.
