Have you heard about lucid dreaming? It’s effective to learn it against nightmares. You will more often know that you are dreaming therefore making dreams less scary. Apart from that you might be able to take over a bad dream and form it as you wish.
I was gonna suggest lucid dreaming as well… but for me they are far and few in between. Some people can do it every night though. Worth a try.
