You still haven't told me how she makes your dreams fade.
Ok, if she is a dreamer and not a dream character, then ignoring her won't work. But ignoring the things she does will still work. She could drop a sky scraper on your head, and if you are capable of ignoring it, it won't even phase you.
When shared dreaming occurs, each party involved experiences their own unique dream. It doesn't happen on a shared astral or dream plane. You interact with her from within your dream, and your nemesis messes with you from within hers. You are wrong when you say she controls your dream. You are always in complete control of you dream, even in a shared dream, even if you don't realize it. She can't control your dream at all, or hurt you in any way. What she can do however is manipulate your attention to trick you into turning your own dream against yourself.
Likewise, if you want to challenge her, then you need to manipulate her attention. She comes into your dreams because she is focused on you. What you need to do is give her something to distract her, so that she is forced to shift her focus from you to something else. I can't say what will capture her attention, that depends on the individual, but try to come up with something that can't be ignored.
I made a thread on Dream Combat in relation to shared dreaming at some point. Do a search for threads by me with "Dream combat" in the title, that might help. It also doesn't sound like this woman is very skilled at dream control, so familiarizing yourself with the basics should give you a huge advantage. Check out my thread titled "The nature of dream control" in the dream control forum, or any of Mzzck's threads on the subject.

I was tired and told myself I'll do it tomorrow, and had just decided on what I wanted to inject into my target's dream. Afterwards I felt kinda dumb at having wasted so much time putting so much effort into it.
That's not to say that spell wouldn't work. If may even be helpful in focusing your attention on the task at hand, but it's not necessary.
