Really bad recurring nightmares for about 15 years now, wondering how to get rid of them?
My nightmares are extremely realistic. It’s almost like being in a horror movie that you don’t know is a horror movie. Most times when I wake up and try to go back to sleep, I fall right back into the dream, so I often can’t go back to sleep for fear of having the dream again.
Last night for instance, I was a 40ish female homicide detective (i’m 19 in real life). There was a young boy who had been kidnapped many years ago who suddenly reappeared. One night he was attacked and he claimed it was the same woman who had taken him in the first place. In my dream, he was dating my teenage daughter. She insisted on riding in the ambulance with him. As we were driving to the hospital, we saw the ambulance on the side of the road. I walked up to the doors and suddenly had a horrible image of this woman torturing him as a young boy, I don’t want to go into detail, but it was really gruesome. When I snapped out of it I opened it and my daughter and the boy were gone. I walked to the place where I guess the boy lived and had another vision of my daughter and the boy tied up and she was burning them with a lighter all over their body. Then she started calling my cell phone and sending me texts that said what she would be doing to them. Really horrific stuff. I woke up after that and couldn’t return to sleep. I have had this same dream at least once a year for 5 years now.
Other dreams I have had over and over again since I was little were one where I am kidnapped and locked into a haunted house and end up accidentally falling off the roof and then my "ghost" looks down and sees my mangled body. Another, my entire family is massacred in front of me by a family friend. In another, I am a serial killer and I do horrible things to people. I also have one where a man breaks into my house and murders my husband and my baby and rapes me.
They are all so real and very terrifying and I have most of them at least once a month.
I was abused as a child until I was about 5, but then I was adopted by a wonderful family. I have been told this could be the cause for some of them but I’m not sure. I’m not on any medication and I keep a pretty similar sleep schedule because I have a 2 year old so we keep him on a nightly schedule.
Sorry this is so long, but I thank you for your help or advice!
Well I have moved 3 times in those years, so I don’t think that it’s a haunted house.
I usually avoid scary movies because I know how paranoid I am by nature.
Also, for most of those years, I have attended mass at least 4 times a week.
These dreams are very creative. I think that you should write down every dream you have. Try to include as many details as you remember. Keep paper by your bed so that when you wake up you can write down the dream right away (this may help you fall back asleep afterwords.)
I think that your subconscious wants you to be more creative in your life. You are a writer, but don’t know it yet. Take classes in creative writing and composition and grammar. WRITE! You may have found yourself a new career or hobby. I have a feeling that you need to expand your horizons and try this new activity. Your subconscious, at least, wants you to reach your potential.
Good luck!

Let me embraced you my dear and feel the sadness in my heart of what you have been through when you are still a child. May the Lord forgive who abused you because it was the worst things that she/he given to you that’s why until now you have no peace in your soul, because you worry and fear too much that it may happened again to your love ones at present. I know you love your wonderful family now, and your subconscious mind made it remember how you suffered ,and what you are dreaming are more than worst. You are always on guard of the safeness and comfort of your family now and always on alert of the danger that may come to them. Stay calm and pray to GOD for continuous guidance and protection of your family. Don’t be afraid of the past. you have gone through.. Take care

Wow. This is a tough one. I sometimes get into bad dream cycles that build up to the point where I am afraid to go to sleep at night, but I had a great childhood. That means that nightmares could stem from some psychological or intellectual fear and not solely from traumatic memories of physical abuse. But of course, they very well could, as well.
One thing that might help is to realize that the brain is incredibly good at tricking itself. You can use that to your advantage. Note, you don’t want to trick yourself to SUPPRESS the trauma as that’s one possible reason for the nightmares themselves. So, try understanding yourself differently with a perspective shift. Scientific explanations are nice here. If you can see your body as a system of cellular and bacterial interactions, as Bonnie Bassler does at TED (linked), you can perhaps give yourself the emotional distance from the actual events that happened in order to process them without as much risk to your psyche.
There are also methods more generally regarded as "spiritual" that can trick you into getting the distance you need to enable processing. People use dream catchers and other charms to give them comfort and "protection." I actually have three mannequins in my room that I like to think of my protectors. I like fashion, too, so I dress them as well. It sometimes freaks other people out if they see these figures looming in their periphery and in the shadows, but that’s what makes me feel safer as I drift off.
Oh, and another way to "tap" into your dream energy is to let it excite and inspire you! H.R. Geiger’s horrific and compelling works were dream/nightmare inspired. White these things down. Try to notice details. Crave more. And when you do, perhaps inevitably and unfortunately, they’ll come no longer. 
Hope this helps.
