> I have heard of two things that work for people. One is to write another ending for your dreams. Like you sprout gills so even if your face is covered you can still breath. Or have someone save you, etc. You need to write out the dream with the new ending and then read it to yourself before bedtime and really put yourself into this new scenario. It takes a little while but eventually the brain will take hold and rewrite the dream for you. Try it, who knows?

Oh, now that you bring it up, there's also NLP, where they tell you to think of the terrifying situation, but play it backwards really fast in your mind, and that is supposed to take away the fear. I've tried it and it works sometimes.Jazzy
