I know this is a lot easier to say than do, but try to enjoy the moment. Haven't you ever seen a scary movie and really enjoyed it? Of course it's easy to point out you're only enjoying a truly terrifying movie because you're safe, but that's not entirely true.
Some of the best dreams I have ever had have been nightmares. Next time you see a monster, try to admire it instead. Remember that your mind created it, that's pretty impressive, it knows exactly what you're the most afraid of. Try to feel the rush, don't worry about dying, you know it's just a dream and even if it wasn't, we're all going to die eventually anyway. :)
Dream monsters can SMELL fear. (Or is that dogs? I can never remember.) Either way, don't be afraid of them. Try to admire it instead of fearing it. Don't run away, don't just kill them and don't just make them disappear either. You have to deal with it, so face the monster.
Humor might help too. Look the monster in the eye and make a comment about how he's not exactly the prettiest thing you've ever seen. :)
But in the end, I guess what I'm saying is: "Make the best of it." If you can't get rid of your nightmares, at least try to enjoy them.
Trust me, nightmares can be absolutely awesome if you like horror. :)
