How to comfort you're wife who has nightmares ?

Me and my wife have known each other since we were kids she's my best friend when she was little she used to have really strange dreams now they're coming back to her. She said some are good some are scary but she said they seem so real she can almost hear everyone and everything in them. She use to get them maybe once or twice a year now it's all the time. Nothing bad has ever happened to her it's been a great life for her. She doesn't understand why she's having these dreams especially now. She loves scary movie's but she doesn't watch them all the time I don't think the movies would have nothing to do with it. If there really bad she wakes up at night crying and doesn't want to go back to sleep. Shes not pregnant or on her period. How can I comfort her ?

You need to find the root of the issue. She is causing those nightmares, and somewhere inside, she knows why. Though she is likely unaware of it. A repressed memory perhaps. Or just a bit of guilt that had time to grow.
This is just off the top of my head. There are countless reasons for it. She should see a medical professional for a consultation at least. No harm there, and you can learn some valuable stuff.

Has she tried medications? I had night terrors for about 7 months and I got put on meds for it and they went away. I slowly got off the meds and now I don't have them anymore

Some suggestions are to watch what she's eating/doing before bed. If nothing seems out of place there's always medication or therapy.
