Clearly this is: Very much impacting your life. I might encourage psychological assessment to help get a handle on why there are so many nightmares. This is usually treatable.

See a psychiatrist: I would recommend that you start off by seeing a psychiatrist. Prazosin isa medication that can often suppresses nightmares. If you are unsuccessful there however then i would proceed to seeing a sleep specialist to rule out sleep apnea and other sleep related causes of dream anxiety disorder or nightmare disorder.
