Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Bad dreams are first symptom of stress and anxiety. So you should definitely consult psychotherapist for counseling. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You will need anxiolytic drugs too relieve your anxiety and this will also give you sound sleep. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
