Simple 4-Step Process

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.

Real Dream Completion Technique Content included

Clinically Proven Solution

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."

The Lava Monster

"A seven-year-old boy came to me with nightmares about a lava monster. He drew the lava monster being 'frozen into ice by Elsa' and then 'put into a dungeon where it could not get out.' He stopped having the lava monster dream."

Bereavement

"I used Dream Completion with a ten-year-old boy after his brother's death. He was having nightmares about his brother being killed over and over. The Dream Completion Technique® helped him change the ending of his dream to something less disturbing and he slept through the night for the first time in months."

Military Trauma

"I used this technique to work with nightmares in the military. It also worked with teenagers and civilians. In total, I tried it with 15 people who had nightmares and recurring unpleasant dreams. The result exceeded all my expectations and made these people happier. Right in the session, people were filled with faith and strength in overcoming unpleasant dreams. When we found their version of ending the dream, there was a breakthrough and real relief."
