A patient in crisis was offered treatment with a major focus on alleviating nightmares using lucid dreaming (dreaming while knowing that one is dreaming). Of sixty-eight non-psychotic patients seen consecutively in a psychiatry emergency room, she was one of 16 (23.5%) found to have a concurrent complaint of nightmares (dream anxiety disorder). The benefits of the skills developed with lucid dreaming extended into areas other than nightmares as the patient entered psychotherapy. The techniques appeared to play a role in the reduction of nightmare frequency, intensity, and distress, and to enhance ego growth and personal development. Further research in lucid dreaming as an adjunctive treatment for patients with nightmares and as a useful technique in psychotherapy is suggested.
一名处于危机中的患者接受了以清醒梦（在知道自己正在做梦时做梦）减轻噩梦为主要重点的治疗。在一家精神病急诊室连续就诊的68名非精神病患者中，她是16名（23.5%）同时伴有噩梦主诉（梦焦虑障碍）的患者之一。随着患者进入心理治疗，清醒梦所培养的技能带来的益处扩展到了噩梦以外的领域。这些技巧似乎在降低噩梦频率、强度和痛苦方面发挥了作用，并促进了自我成长和个人发展。建议对清醒梦作为噩梦患者辅助治疗方法以及心理治疗中有用技巧进行进一步研究。
