I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and as a child had some very vivid nightmares so I can identify with those who do fear them, there is little you can do about what you dream about. And of course my parents didn't have a clue what to do when I was so terrified I couldn't even move or speak.
However time does help, the dreams/ nightmares fade and cease, in fact it must be years since I went to sleep fearing what I will dream about, too many to count. It does heal, it does go away.
Now I'm free of religion fully I will never mock those who have such nightmares and will always respond with compassion, I have sat with a few people and helped them through unsettling dreams/ nightmares. Even if all that entails is listening, believing them and Sharing that they can cease.
It takes a long while for a new way of thinking to work its way back to the subconscious, it will heal hang in there.
