I have a LOT of recurring dreams, and most of them are nightmares. I've had them since childhood - ever since I can remember. They're very vivid - I have sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. Usually, they're violent fighting sorts of dreams - someone's chasing me, attempting to kill me. Should I worry about this, talk to someone about this?

Two pieces of history:
1. Yes, was molested as a child, and dad died when I was 7, and I had a pretty uneven relationship with mom throughout puberty and teenage years as possible triggers/reasons.
2. My grandmother was also someone who dreamed very vividly all her life - she would wake up absolutely convinced there was "someone" outside the window trying to get in, etc. No idea if she had any possible triggers/reasons, or this is just how she dreamt.

Thanks!
