Barbiturates do this exquisitely, but good luck geting a Nembutal prescription.
Buspirone 15-30mg qhs would be the first thing I'd try. Incedentally, I cannot think of anything else I'd recommend buspirone for as a first-line treatment!
If that doesn't work, titrate moclobemide to effectiveness. It is an MAOI, but reversible. Do keep in mind that you will be hard pressed to find a drug which prevents your nightmares while preserving proper sleep architecture.
Also, may drugs used for PTSD could be effective.
Can you afford a sleep study? This is the first thing I'd pursue before looking for a pharmacological rememdy.
