This is definitely something I struggle with. I've had intense, vivid nightmares as long as I can remember. When they come in clusters I will sometimes do what I can to avoid sleep. The nightmares seem to bleed through to reality on my worst days. Honestly I related to the Nightmare on Elm Street movies for a long time because of my avoidance of sleep.
I keep a dream journal to record them - doesn't do much but it helps me feel like if I get them out they don't haunt me as long.
