Summary

This study tests whether a special remote control (DreamChanger) plus a simple bedtime therapy can help children aged 3-10 have fewer nightmares. Parents guide their child through the program at home using instructional videos. The trial involves 120 children and compares the DreamChanger group to a waitlist. Results will measure nightmare frequency, sleep quality, and child behavior.
