Distressing dreams and nightmares are common in childhood, decline in the middle years, and increase again in old age. Their presence can diminish the quality of sleep and increase daytime anxiety. Clinical treatment should be considered when they become frequent or recurrent to avoid deleterious effects on health. Moreover, it is vitally important that patients with recurrent distressing dreams and nightmares receive a neuropsychiatric work-up as recurrent nightmares may be associated with posttraumatic stress disorder and, in the elderly, they may herald the onset of a neurodegenerative disorder. This course reviews the biologic mechanisms of distressing dreams and nightmares, their clinical correlates and their potential for harm. Evidence-based treatment strategies to manage recurrent nightmares are reviewed including cognitive-behavioral approaches and an emerging pharmacologic option.
