hayu li halomot raim kol halila
nightmare in single is translated as "halom balahot" but in the plural it is more common to say 'halomot raim' - bad dreams, rather than the term 'nightmare'

hayu li siyutim kol ha-layla
siyutim = nightmares, but another possibility is 'khalomot balaha'.
hau li = there were to me, i.e. I had
kol ha-layla = all (the) night.

Khalomot ra\'im is WRONG. It means \'bad dreams\'. The question is about NIGHTMARES.
hau li = there were to me, i.e. I had
kol ha-layla = all (the) night.

It wasn't. You suggested khalomot ra'im (which is wrong) and ziyoutim (which does not exist).

Something went wrong...
