Overview

What are nightmares? Are they simply the result of meaningless and random neural firings of an overactive brain? Or are they a window into our most deeply submerged hopes and fears? If you are one of the ten to fifteen million adults in the U.S. who have at least one terrifying or disturbing dream a month, you’ll want to read this book.

Dr. Alex Lukeman is a master in the field of terrifying and difficult dreams and has more than twenty years of experience treating patients. He believes that nightmares can be an important resource for self-discovery and self-knowledge—when properly examined, nightmares can often lead to the solution of troubling problems—problems you may not even consciously know you have.

This book is a practical guide for dealing with our most haunting dreams. The techniques and suggestions suggested herein will provide you with results and relief from nightmares, while offering advice on how to learn from the harrowing images and emotions they produce.
