@Fartman7998: It was a perfect example that adults thinking they know best when this show is totally against that stereotype. Maybe if Bob was that clever, he should have understood that these are not typical nightmares by watching people acting weird around him. And then he wouldn't throw an advice about a thing that he really doesn't get. He isn't a f**kin psychiatrist or a pediatrician. He just did it to get closer to Joyce. He even bragged about it to Joyce thinking that he is connecting with Will...

All of you seem to forgot the fact that Bob set everything in motion. He was the dumb one pushing Will to comfort the shadow monster and tell him to get away. Will was escaping him finely till Bob said that. So he had it coming. Karma.
