Abstract
A brief case history of a young male farm worker who suffered recurrent nightmares subsequent to being run over by a tractor is given. A method for reducing the nightmares, by encouraging the patient to alter a small, emotionally nonsignificant detail of the dream, is then described.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
