    How It Works

    Four clear steps to transform your nightmares into peaceful sleep - no complicated tech, medication or therapy required.

    01

    Identify the Stuck Point

    This is when you get woken out of your dream, where the dream's terrors and powerlessness have become a reality.

    02

    Create a New Dream Idea

    Sending the dream in a new direction that pivots towards safety, power, and mastery.

    03

    Visualise whilst awake

    Visualise your new dream idea in all its glory - what you see, hear and feel. This rewires your brain's response for your next dream.

    04

    Sleep with confidence

    As you sleep, your brain begins following the new pathway you've created. Nightmares lose their grip, and peaceful sleep takes their place.

    Although appearing simple at first glance, these steps require thorough detailing, including a dramatic change of perspective in how you view your nightmares.

    The Dream Completion Technique® is a comprehensive programme that provides full support and is applicable to all types of nightmares (including PTSD), irrespective of recall.

    The Reality of Chronic Nightmares

    The Problem

    Sleepless. Restless. Exhausted.

    Nightmares are far more than bad dreams. Your sleep is disrupted, your anxiety may be overwhelming, taking your mental health into a downward spiral

    Left untreated, just one night of poor sleep slows reaction time by up to 400%,  studies shows regular nightmares increase suicide risk by 250%, and chronic sleep loss slashes memory formation by 40%.

    Don't fight soul-draining battles daily, regain control over your life with Dr. Havens' Nightmare Treatment.

    Daily impacts of nightmares

    Sleep Deprivation

    Recurring nightmares disrupt deep sleep cycles, leaving you exhausted, irritable, and unable to function at your best during the day.

    Anxiety & Fear

    The dread of going to bed becomes overwhelming. You develop sleep anxiety, creating a vicious cycle that makes nightmares even worse.

    Relationship Strain

    Partners lose sleep too. Your nightmares affect loved ones, creating tension and distance in relationships that matter most.

    Health Consequences

    Chronic sleep disruption leads to weakened immunity, increased stress hormones, and higher risk of serious health problems.

    Spending thousands on expensive "Solutions" with no real impact

    You've tried medications, therapy sessions, sleep aids—spending thousands without lasting results. Traditional approaches often fail.

    Lost Productivity

    Exhaustion affects work performance, concentration, and decision-making. Your career and personal goals suffer as nightmares steal your energy.

    Suffering daily?

    There's a better way.

    The Dream Completion Technique® addresses the root cause, not just symptoms, and provides a permanent solution to your nightmares.

    The Dream Completion Technique®

    A clinically proven, step-by-step programme that transforms nightmares into peaceful sleep - no tech, medication, or therapy required.

    Health benefits infographic showing participants are twice as likely to feel happy and energized, quality sleep reduces risk of depression by 60%, and consistent sleep boosts problem-solving by up to 50%

    Transform Your Sleep, Transform Your Life

    The Dream Completion Technique® builds on imagery rehearsal therapy (the existing non-drug treatment for nightmares). Instead of reliving trauma, you create a vivid "new dream idea" that pivots the nightmare into a positive resolution.

    This streamlined process reduces frequency and distress, restores a sense of control, and works even if the nightmare content can't be fully recalled.

    Example: Avalanche nightmare Surfing a wave to safety. From powerless to powerful.

    Studies show consistent, restful nights boost memory by 40%, cut depression risk by more than half, and double the chances of waking up happy and energized.

    Why This Works Differently

    • No exposure therapy required — No need to re-enter the trauma scene
    • Flexible use — Works for repetitive, changing and no recall dreams
    • Evidence-based — Aligned with imagery rehearsal therapy, enhanced for efficiency

    "The Dream Completion Technique is a user friendly, pragmatic approach that just makes sense. I have used it across military and prison populations with great effect. I am so passionate about this approach that we are starting a research trial in a high secure unit, as we feel this really will assist our patients with what is a very distressing experience. I have also directed colleagues in active military zones to use this technique. Ultimately, this is a 'no-harm' technique, which is part of its clinical value and attractiveness."
