I have heard of two things that work for people. One is to write another ending for your dreams. Like you sprout gills so even if your face is covered you can still breath. Or have someone save you, etc. You need to write out the dream with the new ending and then read it to yourself before bedtime and really put yourself into this new scenario. It takes a little while but eventually the brain will take hold and rewrite the dream for you. Try it, who knows?
The other is desensitizing yourself (sorry, bad spelling) to feeling smothered. You can work on breath holding, pillows over the face, etc. etc. Little by little you gain control over the fear.
Just some thoughts.
