Perhaps it would be best for you to approach these as two separate issues: 1) your personal safety, and 2) your concerns for your personal safety.

It appears you are taking reasonable steps to secure yourself. Consult with knowledgeable people on the sufficiency of those steps in view of the potential threat. On the other hand, with your psychological history the nightmares and fear represent a different kind of problem and threat. How well do your pdoc/therapist/doctor know your current suffering?

Thanks for the response! I have an appointment next week with one of my doctors, so I will ask then. One thing my therapist and I have talked about is self-guided relaxation (I have a few apps on my phone), especially before I go to bed. This does help, especially right before I am going to bed, but it doesn't necessarily help the dreams once I am asleep.
