Limitations in the Utility of Lucid Dreaming and Dream Control as Techniques for Treating Nightmares

Abstract

In the past several years I have been studying nightmares and in that context have examined the factors that prompt people to seek treatment for these experiences. Given that several articles in this issue of Lucidity Letter address the positive and negative aspects of lucidity and dream control. I thought I would add my reflections on this issue with respect to treating nightmares.
