Abstract in brief

  • This paper reviews current research on what causes nightmare disorder and how it can be treated, highlighting definitions, epidemiology, and models of how nightmares develop in both traumatized and non-traumatized individuals.
  • It explains that chronic nightmares often result from a combination of heightened hyperarousal and difficulties in extinguishing fear, influenced by factors like childhood trauma, emotional distress, thought suppression, and sleep issues.
  • Treatment approaches tend to focus on addressing the meaning of nightmares, their repetitive nature, or maladaptive beliefs, with the paper also discussing the importance of healthcare providers understanding nightmare disorder and exploring future research directions.]
