I feel like as you said a serious for of schizophrenia, possibly it is that the schizophrenia is now under control and the other aspects, PTSD are surfacing in your mind, the PTSD I believe I suffer had never been officially treated or acknowledged as it is difficult to tell the professionals that one can have both schizophrenia and PTSD, they can take the PTSD as a delusion in my case sadly, which from what you have shared about the violent acts of your father during your childhood and the trigger of the yelling at dinner sounds like there is a lot of things inside of yourself due to your father that have never been talked about in Therapy and thus still stuck in your mind and memories.
I would bring it up again about treatment for the PTSD, if they are willing to check into it, it would be beneficial to your mental health to talk to someone about it and work on how to combat the PTSD in hopes that your nightmares would cease or lessen. If you don't get treatment for the PTSD it could just escalate and grow inside you.
It would be something to think about. I believe with the abuse of your father you most likely are suffering from PTSD.
It is not right what he did and it is never right for someone to hit and abuse another person, make sure you know it is and would never be your fault.
I feel for you my friend and send you the best of hope in this.
Take Care,
