Recurring Nightmares and Seeking Help

I believe I have nightmare disorder, and haven't had a chance to discuss it with my therapist. Growing up I'd have reoccurring nightmares, usually involving a shape-shifter. I'd have them once a week or so.. Anywho. Since the last 8 months, I've been having similar nightmares. Just about every night. Drinking usually made them go away, but I've been sober for 29 days and they've come back. I'm on night 2 of it. It'll be extremely vivid and realistic, and I'll 100% believe I'm awake. In these nightmares, I'll do something as simple as getting up to use the bathroom. And then there would come the shadows and whispers, and the buzzing sound. I'd panic really bad, and usually I wouldn't be able to move at that point. I'd try everything I can to call for help, and no sound will come out. Or I'll just be in bed, and there will be spirits around me, whispers, buzzing, and sometimes laughing. I won't be able to move, and I'll fight so hard to shove my fiance or flail around so he will get up and help me. And then suddenly.. I just wake up, all is quiet, and I won't even be near him or anything. It's honestly pretty trippy. But always, if I fall right back to sleep, I start the same process over and over again. So I've started to fight sleep, and refuse to go back to bed. Now I fall asleep through out the day. I'm trying to get pregnant.. So what besides medications has helped you?
