One of the best solutions to nightmares is lucid dreaming. It takes effort to learn it, but it is worth it, among others realizing during a nightmare that it is a dream and not waking reality one can then have options to approach it better.

Alas I have not had the patience and persistence to keep up lucid dream practice recently, but I remember there was a time when I actually learned to look forward to nightmares because it was easier to recognize a nightmare as a dream at some point, and then I could have great satisfaction out of overcoming the nightmare and turning it into a better dream.
