Milton Kramer is a psychiatrist and dream researcher Cincinnati，Ohio.He believes that it is very important that people don't ignore their dreams，because they are messages from our sleeping minds.When Kramer studied dreams and dreamers，he found that people wake up feeling very discouraged after they have a bad dream.He also found that after having a good dream，people feel more optimistic.Clearly,dreams can have harmful or beneficial effects.As a result,Kramer believes that we need to learn how to change our bad dreams.When we understand what happened in our dreams,we can change negative，hurtful dreams to positive，helpful ones。

Before we can begin to change a nightmare，however，we first have to remember what happened in our dream.Researchers say there are many ways to do this.We can keep a journal or diary of what we do when we are awake. Then，before going to sleep，we can review our day.This practice helps us to stay in charge.When we wake up，we should lie still while we try to remember our dream.Dream researchers say that by staying in the same sleeping positive，we are more likely to recall the dream.We should also try to remember an important word or picture from the dream.This image makes the rest of the dream easier to later.The longer we sleep，the longer and more complex our dreams will be.

Dr.Rosalind Cartwright is a dream researcher，too.She has developed another dream therapy for changing dreams.According to Dr.Cartwright,dream therapy involves four simple steps you can learn on your own.The first step is to recognize when you are having a bad dream that will make you feel helpless or upset the next morning.The second step is to identify what it is about the dream that makes you feel bad-for

example，weak instead of strong，or out of control instead of in control. Next，stop any bad dream.You do not have to continue your bad dream，because you are in charge.The last step is to change the negative part of the dream.Sometimes you may have to wake yourself up and change the dream before you return to sleep.Other times it is possible to change the dream while you are still asleep.

By using dream therapy，Joseph was able to change his nightmares.Gradually,his bad dreams stopped altogether.He began having more positive dreams and woke up feeling refreshed and cheerful.We feel well rested and more optimistic.Stopping a nightmare and changing it to a positive dream experience can be physically and psychologically beneficial to us all.
