Bethany: Psychologists have discovered a technique for replacing one' s nightmares with pleasant dreams, and have successfully taught it to adults suffering from chronic nightmares  Studies have found that nightmare-prone children are especially likely to suffer from nightmares as adults
Thus, psychologists should direct efforts toward identifying nightmare-prone children so that these children can be taught the technique for replacing their nightmares with pleasant dreams
Any psychological technique that can be successfully taught to a child can also be successfully taught to an adult.
