Abstract
Unpleasant dreams occur much more frequently than many peoplerealise. If one is a hedonistic utilitarian–or, at least, one thinks that dreams havepositive or negative moral value in virtue of their experiential quality–then onehas considerable reason to try to make such dreams more positive. Given it is pos-sible to improve the quality of our dreams, we ought to be promoting and imple-menting currently available interventions that improve our dream experiences,and conducting research to find new, more effective interventions.
