My dreams are safe once more.
For the past couple days, I have been tormented by a memory that I could not fully remember. You know that feeling when you catch a glimpse of an old childhood book or ritual, but you can not remember what it was called, or exactly what it was about? Well one day at work a picture from a childhood book flashed in my mind, yet I could not remember what it was called. All I could remember was it was some lion-like creature, and it was a stuffed animal of a young boy. When something threatened the young boy, the animal would become a ferocious beast and defend the boy. With that being all I could remember, I set off to find this missing piece of childhood.
First, let me explain that I love doing this. Searching through the internet on a quest to find some missing information is a hobby of mine, so I set off on this particular journey with enthusiasm. After two hours of searching, however, I still had nothing. So I turned to my mom, who surprised me to no end when she remembered the name of the character I sought out: Bah Koo. Of course at that time we had no idea how to spell it, and it took me another half hour to find the proper spelling.
What I found was amazing, since it appeared there are only two pictures of this book on the internet (according to Google). With my desire to be one of the few reignited, I ran to my basement, and after digging through countless stuffed toys I found the holy grail of the week: my very own Bah Koo stuffed animal. See, with the book came the stuffed animal from the book. Unfortunately, I have yet to locate the book, "Bah Koo - Chaser of Bad Dreams: The Bedtime Story", which I believe is at my grandparents house, if anywhere. But for now I am content with knowing the plot, which went something like this. Bah Koo belonged to a little boy, and would protect his dreams. One night, when the boy had an unusually powerful nightmare, Bah Koo jumped to his rescue, transforming into a ferocious creature, and ate the bad dream. Now that I have found my Bah Koo doll, I can rest easy, knowing my dreams are safe once more.
Bah Koo is based off of the Japanese folklore of the Baku, the dream eaters.
