Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung seemed to have shared a belief that people frequently distressed by<unk> s could be re-experiencing some stressful event from the past. Both perspectives on dreams suggest that therapy can provide relief from the dilemma of the<unk> sh experience. Halliday (1987) grouped treatment techniques into four classes. Direct<unk>  interventions that combine compatible techniques from one or more of these classes may enhance overall treatment effectiveness: * Analytic and cathartic techniques * Storyline alteration procedures * Face-and-conquer approaches * Desensitization and related behavioral techniques Post-traumatic stress disorder Recurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<unk> s in which traumas are re-experienced respond well to a technique called imagery rehearsal. This involves dreamers coming up with alternative, mastery outcomes to the<unk> s, mentally rehearsing those outcomes while awake, and then reminding themselves at bedtime that they wish these alternate outcomes should the<unk> s reoccur. Research has found that this technique not only reduces the occurrence of<unk> s and insomnia, but also improves other daytime PTSD symptoms. The most common variations of imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT) "relate to the number of sessions, duration of treatment, and the degree to which exposure therapy is included in the protocol". Medication * Prazosin (alpha-1 blocker) appears useful in decreasing the number of<unk> s and the distress caused by them in people with PTSD. * Risperidone (atypical antipsychotic) at a dosage of 2mg per day, has been shown in case series to a remission of<unk> s in the first night. * Trazodone (antidepressant) has been shown in a case report to treat<unk> s associated with a depressed patient. Trials have included hydrocortisone, gabapentin, paroxetine, tetrahydrocannabinol, eszopiclone, xyrem, and carvedilol.
