Nightmare treatment: Nightmares often occur along with additional symptoms as part of depressive, anxiety, and other disorders but they can occur as a single symptom in a problem called nightmare disorder. If part of another disorder, treating the underlying problem can improve the nightmares. Imagery rehearsal therapy and a medication called prazosin (off label use) can directly target nightmares. See your doctor.

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.
