Nightmare disorder with acute onset involves the sudden appearance of frightening and disruptive dreams. In severe cases it may involve high levels of anxiety, fear of falling asleep, cognitive deficits secondary to sleep deprivation and so may pose a psychiatric emergency. Standard techniques of dream interpretation appear limited in dealing with such a crisis. Lucid dreaming, the experience of dreaming and simultaneously being aware that one is dreaming is an easily learned technique that may provide effective and dramatic relief. The usefulness of lucid dreaming is illustrated by a case history.
急性发作的梦魇障碍涉及令人恐惧且具有干扰性的梦境突然出现。在严重情况下，可能会出现高度焦虑、害怕入睡、因睡眠剥夺继发认知缺陷，因此可能构成精神科急症。标准的解梦技术在应对此类危机时似乎效果有限。清醒梦，即在做梦的同时意识到自己正在做梦的体验，是一种易于学习的技术，可能会带来有效且显著的缓解。一个病例史说明了清醒梦的效用。
