If you avoid sleep for too long, sooner or later you'll fall asleep and have REM rebound, which means extra dreams (and nightmares for you and me!).
So it seems there are two choices: 1) go sleep deprived to avoid nightmares for as long as possible or 2) sleep with nightmares
I endured daily sleep deprivation while working and it was torturous (due to a sleep disorder). Work and the boss at work did not help in lowering anxiety and adrenaline, which added to my inability to sleep. So I'll take option 2 if I could. However, there is a third option! Some sleep meds actually suppress REM sleep so you can go that route.
