https://www.sciencealert.com/nightmares-can-be-silenced-with-a-single-piano-chord-scientists-discover/ampUsing non-invasive techniques to manipulate our emotions, it might be possible to curtail the screaming horrors that plague our sleep.
A study conducted on 36 patients diagnosed with a nightmare disorder showed that a combination of two simple therapies reduced the frequency of their bad dreams.
Scientists invited the volunteers to rewrite their most frequent nightmares in a positive light and then playing sound associated with positive experiences as they slept.
"There is a relationship between the types of emotions experienced in dreams and our emotional well-being," says psychiatrist Lampros Perogamvros of the Geneva University Hospitals and the University of Geneva in Switzerland.

(13,792 posts)3. yes, the 6th is the A. and the 9th is a D, though this moves it down.
I personally would play it C E G A D (if I could)
Too many pieces of music stretch to the 9th and 10th note.
Rachmaninoff was famous for having giant hands, and it shows in his music.
Mozart, OTOH, was said to have small hands, so there seems to be some reasonable fingering for us with average and small "span". We'll never be quarterbacks, unless they allow lots of stick-um.
Pleasant dreams!
