something that helped me deal with this is a trick my therapist taught me, and has worked since i was 14 and got help.
When you are dreaming and something is scaring you - whether it is a person, a place, a thing..... walk TOWARDS it. I know its the last thing you instinctively want to do... but when you gain that control and do this ... what is scaring you will disappear and the dream will transform.
Before you go to sleep, remind yourself of this. Slowly if you keep this fact in mind, your dreams will become lucid during the height of bad dream. This is because your brain ignites that little trick in your memory and you soon begin to have control.
