A researcher at the University of New Mexico thinks he can teach people how to make nightmares less nightmarish. Barry Krakow runs the school's sleep research program. He's looking for 100 people to take part in a year-long program on nightmares and insomnia. The focus is on bad dreams caused by a traumatic experience. Krakow uses a method called imagery rehearsal.
Patients learn how to change nightmares into more pleasant images.
