Here is how it works.

So first, you take your scary dream, but you kind of reimagine it so that instead of the tiger just, like, you know, catching you and mauling you or whatever, you kind of give it a happy ending.

So maybe...

You're thinking of the dream, the tiger's chasing you, and then you have like a magic wand and you turn around and go like presto and change the tiger into a little kitten.

And then the kitten's just like, meow.

and it's not scary anymore because it's a cute kitten and so and then so after you have your happy version of the dream when you're awake you just think about that version of the dream again and again and again and again until it kind of gets cemented into your brain and so the idea is to kind of retrain your brain while you're awake so that the next time you actually have the dream that happy version will like kick in and you'll like end up with a cute kitten at the end

Right?

Yeah.

I didn't know science did this.

Yeah.

And so several studies find that this works like really well.

So yeah.

And you know, not only will you have a cute dream, but you'll have a great conversation starter at your next party.

So do you think you'll use this next time you're at a party?

Perfect.

Thanks, Iketi.
