I've noticed over the years that the amount of dreams that I have (and whether or not I remember them when I wake up) are heavily based upon what happened to me in the past 24 hours.
Now, this might be from rejection, excitement, stress, contentment, or, my favorite, alcohol (you never have more vivid, entertaining, happy, and realistic dreams then when you go to sleep blitzed). Anyway, all the previous posters have it right - re-evaluate what when on in your life recently. If the nightmares continue to be bad, change something in your life. Play soothing music, take some NyQuil, don't eat before bed (or do eat before bed), etc... just do something that is different than your usual routine to see if that may sort it out.
If they continue to be bad, you'll probably be able to find a local sleep specialist. Eventually, you'll get one night of sleep that changes your [ir]regular pattern so that the corresponding pattern of nightmares drifts away.
