I agree that Clavus has the right approach to understanding the nightmares. "Something" has triggered them and it wasn't necessarily an actual event. You may have read something, or saw something on TV that is troubling you at the subconscious level.
If you can determine the general content of the dreams with the method Mal suggested, it is possible that you can pre-script how you wish the nightmare to end. Ummm, that's about as clear as mud so I'll give a personal example. When I was a child, I had an ongoing nightmare of falling to the concrete basement floor from the top of the stairs. I would wake up just before my face hit, all but screaming in fear. I scripted an ending that prevented the landing by deciding I would simply fly away rather than crash. Silly, but it actually worked. Heh, I fly a lot in my dreams now.
Good luck. Please let us know how things go on this.
