I'm no stranger to the nightmares myself. It's like my brain just waits until I go to sleep to undercut all the progress I have made. The way they make me feel the next day is also just the pits.
My therapist and I and used my dreams to a large extent to uncover what I'm really feeling vs what I might actually say I am feeling.
My advice? Interpret, Interpret, Interpret. Not only does it take the emotional power out of the dream by putting into the rational realm, but it actually may reveal something that you haven't considered, but that your mind is telling you to look at. Your dreams may represent something totally different that what you originally assumed.
I'm sorry this is happening to you. Take good care.
