Reply to comment by [deleted] in Researchers have shown that individuals who are played a piano chord during sleep that was previously paired to a specialist form of nightmare therapy have happier dreams and fewer nightmares than those who didn't undergo previous pairing, showing that this approach can alter emotions in dreams. by rjmsci
Neurolinguistics and hypnosis has been using this since the 70's. They use the term anchor. Anything can become an anchor for emotional state. And there are techniques to "program" anchors into the brain.
Sadly the mental health sciences didn't pay as much attention to NLP as salespeople and advertisers did. So it became a force for manipulation alongside NLP practitioners using it purely to help people.
Yes it is a dangerous and double-edged sword. Luckily though, awareness of it is also a remedy for it. Anchors can be neutralized or reprogrammed.
So if you ever run across an evil hearted monster who anchors nightmares into your brain, find a reputable NLP coach to help you undo it.
