It has been suggested that sufferers ofnightmares could benefit from the ability to be aware they are indeed dreaming.A pilot study was performed in 2006 that showed that lucid dreaming therapytreatment was successful in reducing nightmare frequency. This treatmentconsisted of exposure to the idea, mastery of the technique, and lucidityexercises. It was not clear what aspects of the treatment were responsible forthe success of overcoming nightmares, though the treatment as a whole was saidsuccessful.[47]
有人认为，噩梦患者可以从意识到自己确实在做梦的能力中受益。2006年进行的一项初步研究表明，清醒梦的疗法在减少噩梦频率方面是成功的。这种治疗包括敞开这一想法，掌握这项技术和进行清醒的练习。目前还不清楚哪些方面的治疗能有效克服噩梦，尽管这个治疗方案从整体上看被认为是是成功的。[47]
Australian psychologist Milan Colic hasexplored the application of principles from narrative therapy to clients' luciddreams, to reduce the impact not only of nightmares during sleep, but alsodepression, self-mutilation, and other problems in waking life. Colic foundthat therapeutic conversations could reduce the distressing content of dreams,while understandings about life—and even characters—from lucid dreams could beapplied to their lives with marked therapeutic benefits.[48]
澳大利亚心理学家Milan Colic探讨了叙事治疗原理在客户清醒梦的应用，不仅减少了睡眠中噩梦的影响，还减少了抑郁症，自残和其他觉醒生活中的问题。Colic发现，治疗性的谈话可以减少梦中令人不安的内容，而对清醒梦的生活甚至人物的理解可以被应用到他们的生活中，并带来显著的治疗效果。[48]
Psychotherapists have applied luciddreaming as a part of therapy. Studies have shown that by inducing a lucid dreamrecurrent nightmares can be alleviated. It is unclear whether this alleviationis due to lucidity or the ability to alter the dream itself. A 2006 studyperformed by Victor Spoormaker and Van den Bout evaluated the validity of luciddreaming treatment (LDT) in chronic nightmare sufferers.[49] LDT is composed ofexposure, mastery and lucidity exercises. Results of lucid dreaming treatmentrevealed that the nightmare frequency of the treatment groups had decreased. Inanother study, Spoormaker, Van den Bout, and Meijer (2003) investigated luciddreaming treatment for nightmares by testing eight subjects who received aone-hour individual session, which consisted of lucid dreaming exercises.[50]The results of the study revealed that the nightmare frequency had decreasedand the sleep quality had slightly increased.
心理治疗师将清醒梦作为治疗的一部分。研究表明，通过诱导清醒梦可以缓解复发性的恶梦。目前尚不清楚这种缓解是由于清醒梦还是改变梦本身的能力。Victor Spoormaker和Van den Bout在2006年进行的一项研究评估了针对慢性噩梦患者的清醒梦治疗（LDT）的有效性[49]。 LDT由敞开心扉，掌握和清晰的练习组成。清醒梦的治疗结果显示，治疗组的噩梦频率下降。在另一项研究中，Spoormaker，Van den Bout和Meijer（2003）通过测试八个受试者在一个小时的个人会议中对于清醒梦的练习，来调查清醒梦对于噩梦的治疗[50]。研究结果显示，噩梦频率下降，睡眠质量略有上升。
Holzinger, Klösch, and Saletu managed apsychotherapy study under the working name of ‘Cognition during dreaming – atherapeutic intervention in nightmares’, which included 40 subjects, men and women,18–50 years old, whose life quality was significantly altered bynightmares.[51] The test subjects were administered Gestalt group therapy and24 of them were also taught to enter the state of lucid dreaming by Holzinger.This was purposefully taught in order to change the course of their nightmares.The subjects then reported the diminishment of their nightmare prevalence from2–3 times a week to 2–3 times per month.
Holzinger，Klösch和Saletu以“梦中认知 - 恶梦中的治疗干预”为名进行了一项心理治疗研究，其中包括40名男性和女性，年龄在18-50岁之间，其生活质量受到恶梦的严重影响[51]。受试者采用格式塔组治疗，其中24人也被教授进入Holzinger清醒梦的状态。经过有目的的教导，以改变他们的噩梦的过程。然后受试者报告他们的噩梦发生率从每周2-3次减少到每月2-3次。
