Transcript:
Dad! There is a monster under my bed! Really? A real monster? An undiscovered megafauna is right here in your room? All we have to do is get a picture and we'll all be famous! There'll be book and movie deals and awards and oh it'll be wonderful! Mommy can leave the job he hates and I can finally get the Ferrari I gave up on ever having after you were born! Oh thankyou thankyou thankyou! Now, everything is good again! It's time to remember what it was like to smile at the sunrise. I'll be right back with the camera. You wait here, my little cherub. Earlier... Mom! Dad! There's a monster under my bed! Ugh. Again? Yes, but for the last time.

Reality is a mass hallucination.If you stray from the herd, odd things may happen.These things may not conform to objective measurements.Whatever you do, do not differentiate from the commonplace.

There was a cool episode in The New Twilight Zone series in the mid-80s. I think it was “The Shadow Man.” A kid found the a shadowy figure would emerge from under his bed each night, announcing ominously each time, “I am the Shadow Man, and I will never harm the person under whose bed I live.” Then it would flow out the window, doing its nefarious thing, which tended to be beating up teenagers.
