The purpose of nightmare exposures and rescripting is to help those who suffer from nightmares. In this technique, the nightmare is evoked, bringing up the associated emotions, similar to interoceptive exposure.

Following an emotion’s emergence, the therapist and client work together to recognize the intended emotion and create a new image to conduct the targeted emotion.
