We may have finally figured out an effective way to stop nightmares, but it does require a little bit of work.
We don’t really understand why we dream. It’s something scientists have been baffled by for decades. However, researchers may have found a simple way to stop nightmares. A 2022 study, which focused on 36 patients diagnosed with a nightmare disorder, shows that we can use two simple therapies to change how our minds deal with bad dreams. The trick, the study shows, is to rewrite those nightmares and then play a sound that our brains can associate with a positive experience.
It’s a treatment shown to reduce the frequency and severity of nightmares in some patients. However, it isn’t effective for everyone. That’s where we find the second part of the treatment therapies the researchers used: targeted memory reactivation or TMR.
