on 8/8/2006 When I was little, my dad always told me to not sleep on my back. He said that if you do, you'll get nightmares.

on 11/22/2005 If you can, remember the dream just as you awaken. Write it down if you have to. Then talk to a friend, or a brother or sister, or even your parent about it, and ask what they think. They can give you a different interpretation than you yourself can get out of the nightmare.

on 11/22/2005 Once awakened from a nightmare, immediately make up a different ending. Example: It was a movie, all were actors, no one was hurt. Director yells "Cut! Print!"

on 11/22/2005 Train yourself to realize you are dreaming. Then consciously manipulate your nightmare to follow a more pleasant course.
