Happy Halloween! Nightmares – the dreams that make us frightened to even fall asleep. There is a new therapy for those that suffer from frequent or debilitating nightmares. In the past Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) has shown some effectiveness but new research out of the Université de Genève gives additional treatment options. Using Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) method in conjunction with IRT decreased significantly patients’ nightmares and their positive dreams increased. “According to the ”International Classification of Sleep Disorders”, established by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, nightmares become pathological when they are recurrent and have an impact during the day causing, for example, fatigue, anxiety, dysphoria or intrusive nightmare imagery. This is known as ”nightmare disorder” and is an increasingly common reason for medical consultation.” https://ift.tt/PoB2twi
