Answer 2

There is no single method to control bad dreams. The dreamer may need to avoid over-stimulation from Horror and adventure films or from violent Video Games. In other cases, the dreamer's personal anxiety level may be causing the dreams, or they might be triggered by drugs, whether prescription or recreational. Some individuals are sensitive to caffeine or alcohol, and avoiding those stimulants might solve the problem. Yet again, popular "energy drinks" can disrupt sleep and dreams because of their absurdly high caffeine levels.

> Lucid dreaming can provide significant relief from bad dreams, but should be taught and supervised by a professional therapist or counselor. Unfortunately, there is a vast amount of misleading and false information about lucid dreaming on the internet.

> However, controlling dreams is neither natural nor easy. Dreams are produced by the unconscious mind while the conscious (aware) mind rests in sleep. The desire to control dreams is an expression of the conscious mind; the unconscious mind is not particularly responsive to what the conscious mind thinks it should do. Moreover, forcing the conscious mind to actively interfere with dreams too often can deprive the body and mind of the necessary rest of natural sleep.
