Scared of the dark - how do i get my 5 y.o sleeping without the light on

my ds will be 5 nxt wk and usually sleeps with his bedside lamp on. His little brother is going to be moving into his room soon so I'm trying to get him to go to sleep without his lamp. I got him a gloe bear for xmas so he can have the light off but he now tells me he's having nightmares about someone coming to take him away!!

Any suggestions how to handle this?? I tried telling he's a big boy now but just got tears - am i wrong to force the issue?
