When is was a kid i'd have night terrors. I still have very vivid dreams and many of them are what i would consider to be anxious dreams. They could be very intense, often involving a fight with sharks, lions and zombies. I dream about zombies a lot.
Now i dont believe in dream interpretations per se, but i do think that dreams give the dreamer stories that they can use to make sense of their own life. If the dreams follow the same storyline, it could be a sign of a reoccuring pattern in your waking life that your dreams are reiterating. You said you dream of demons and corpses. Try to think about the feelings you have when you experience these things in your dreams. Does something in your waking life give you the same feelings? I think that dream imagery is very personal, so what kinds of thoughts emerge when you recall the images in your dreams?
I hope this doesnt come across as too new-agey cuz it really just about thinking about your dreams as a personal story you tell yourself about your life. I found approaching my dreams in this way help me with the intense dreams. Didnt always make them go away, but it's helped to take some of the fear away from experiencing nightmares as a adult.
