Nightmare Relief for Everyone
Do you or someone you love suffer from nightmares? Are you a parent concerned about the frequency and intensity of your child’s bad dreams? Should you be concerned? And is there something you can do to take away the bad dreams?
We all have nightmares from time to time – women more so than men, and children more so than adults. Do you know what to say to your child when they wake from a nightmare? And should you wake them up in the middle of one? When should you be concerned enough to seek professional help?
Designed by nightmare expert Dr. Leslie Ellis, this self-paced user-friendly and accessible online course covers the very latest in science and research about what nightmares are, and what they’re not. Leslie offers some simple steps you can take to get some relief from nightmares and other nocturnal disturbances – both for yourself and for others, including your children.
Normally Dr. Ellis teaches mental health professionals how to work with dreams and nightmares. But because she has been approached by so many people about what to do about nightmares, night terrors and sleep paralysis, she has created this course for everyone.
This little course is designed to help! It has answers to all of these questions and more.
I really don't have words to express my gratitude and excitement for the amazing teachings I am receiving. Thank you!!!

I’m really grateful to Leslie for all the work she's been doing with dreams throughout her life, and that she's willing to share this with us. It's invaluable to learn from a master and be able to take a short cut in learning our own dreamwork practices, because we have the very best information and guidance.

This course came at a time when I was having really frequent nightmares. So I remember after our one-on-one session, which was included in the course, that we worked with that nightmare and it just went away. I never had it again. I’ve had other nightmares, but nothing like that, nothing as terrifying. That was really, really helpful and I couldn’t find a solution before that.

I work with clients who have experienced a massive amount of trauma. They don't know that it's okay to work with nightmares. I'm really grateful because I now feel quite confident in telling them that nightmares can be helpful and are treatable. I'm really grateful for that, and I've had some success.
My clients are starting to see how their dreams are a real gift. Some of the trauma that they've been through is so huge. To have it come as a dream is to start the processing of it. I feel like getting this permission and material from a dream is a much safer way to say what the body is ready for and what it needs moving forward.

It's been an amazing journey. I've always been passionate about dreams and with this approach I definitely feel a shift in how I work with dreams. There is such power for healing when we really attune to bodily sensations, when enter dreams in an experiential way. I find it very, very powerful. The finding of the helpful life force in the dream is a new technique for me and it's really amazing. I find it that dreaming a dream forward gives that quality of more. My clients are really happy with the process as well. I can see it helping them move forward in their lives.
