How can one stop nightmare?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Complex answer: No good way to stop one once it starts for most people except to wake up. Yet since nightmares are dreams some patients of mine have had success with this: think before you fall asleep at night "i will dream about 3 specific happy things that happened today" this may reduce the number of nighmares. Other pateints have then repeated this list as the nightmare starts and changed the events dreamt.

No More Nightmares: Dreams with unusual content are not uncommon after disturbing or stressful events. The issue is not the dream content but rather the problem of being woken up by the dream. If you sleep peacefully through your dreams you won't remember or be disturbed by the content of your dreams. Try Planned Dream Intervention from my No More Nightmares class. Most people are no longer woken up after the class.
