Summary: You wake up from a terrible nightmare trembling and on the verge of tears, but your partner is there to comfort you. They hold you, reassure you it was only a dream, and cuddle you to make sure you feel safe and secure. The two of you fall back into a gentle sleep in one another's arms…

Sweetheart? Are you… are you awake?

…

Hey, uh, are you okay? What's going on?

…

Hey, hey, sweetheart. Shh, shh. Calm down, it's alright.

Hey. Shh. Deep breaths, okay? It's okay, it's alright… no, no, don't worry, don't worry. I'm here. Here, feel my arm around you? Feel my hand on your cheek? Oh my… you're sweating so much, I can feel those cold beads on my fingers… Just focus on my voice, okay, I'm here for you.

I… I think you were having a bad dream. But it's alright now, it was only a dream. It wasn't real. I know it probably still feels real as you're coming out of it, but it wasn't. You're waking up now, and you're still here with me in our bed. We're together. Nothing can hurt you.

…

Yeah, that's it… can you open your eyes, please? Look at me. You're safe, it was only a nightmare. It's okay. You're still lying right here in bed next to me where you belong, wrapped up together in our cozy sheets. Here, let me bring your hand down to them, feel that soft fabric between your fingers. That feeling is real, you're home. Everything is okay. You're safe. And I'm here.

Aww… you're trembling. I can feel your body shivering next to me. It must have been a really bad dream… I… Can you look at me, please? Just turn your head a little, look into my eyes. Oh no… Are you… are you crying?

…

Oh no, no, please don't look away. I didn't mean to make you embarrassed or anything, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. You know you don't have to hide when you're scared. (Whisper) I'll never think less of you for being human and showing how you feel inside, you know that.

Would a hug make you feel a little better?

…

Aww. Well all you had to do was ask, baby. (Laugh) Here, nuzzle in. Mmm. That's it, just wrap those arms around me and let me wrap mine around yours. Let me hold you really tight. I love when we get to hold each other like this… and I can tell you really need to be held right now.

It's obvious whatever you were dreaming about really bothered you, I just… I just want to make sure you know you're okay now. Whatever it was, it wasn't real. Dreams play tricks on our minds. I know how vivid they can be, when you're in them it can feel like they're so real.

Once I had this dream, I think maybe I told you about it... in the dream, I showed up at work and I realized I forgot to put on my pants that morning. And okay, I know that sounds like a really silly nightmare (Laugh), I'm sure yours was way worse, but... I bring it up, because, while I was having it I was genuinely so anxious, it was horrible. It felt as real as anything. Oh my god, I was so relieved when I woke up, the first thing I did was put my hand on my leg to check I was still wearing my pajamas. (Laugh) What I'm trying to say is, it's important to remember it's not real, no matter how lifelike it seemed, or how strong those feelings it made you feel were. It's all just in your head.

Do you… want to talk to me about it? What it was about, I mean? It's completely up to you, but sometimes talking can make you feel better.

…

Okay. That's alright, whatever you feel comfortable with. If you change your mind just let me know, I'll always be here to listen. Here, just nuzzle in closer, let me stroke your hair. Mmm. Doesn't that feel nice and warm when the two of us cuddle like this under the blankets? You're okay. It's just you and I here, nothing else, no one else.

…

Aww… that's sweet of you to say, but you don't have to thank me. Of course I'm here for you. You're always here for me when I have nightmares or can't sleep, why wouldn't I be there for you? That's what people who love each other do. (Laugh)

Hey, hey. Shh, shh. It's alright if you need to cry, just let it out. It's okay. Here, just nestle into me, let me cradle you. There. Do you like me stroking your hair? Good. I'll rub your back too, I know how you like it when I do that. It's alright. Take as long as you need.

It's okay to be scared sometimes. I mean, God knows you've seen me scared by plenty of stuff, I'm the last person to judge. Remember how that one black centipede that somehow snuck up on me in our bathroom practically turned me into an Olympic sprinter? (Laugh) But… I want you to know… it doesn't make you any less of a brave or strong person, okay? I know how strong you are, and this doesn't change how I look at you at all.

It reminds me of something Mark Twain once said, you know. Someone asked him, "Can a person be brave even when they're scared?" And he said, "That's the only time a person can be brave."

Okay, wait, uh… I'm just realizing maybe that was from Game of Thrones, not Mark Twain. (Laugh) Hey, cut me some slack, I'm still kinda tired. But the point stands! (Laugh) I just… okay, what I'm awkwardly trying to say is, don't be embarrassed or shy to be open with me if you ever feel frightened like this. I love you, and I care so, so much about you – I'll always support you and I'll never think less of you for getting emotional. You understand?

…

Alright. Aww, there's that beautiful smile… you're so cute when you smile. Feeling a little better? Good. I'm very glad to hear that. Do you want a glass of water or anything?

…

Okay. Well just let me know if you decide you do, really it's no trouble. Anything for my sweetheart. So, uh… what should we do now? I guess we could try to go back to sleep, I think my insomnia isn't acting up too badly tonight. Do you think you could try to get back to sleep, or do you want to stay up?

…

Alright. Would it make you feel better to cuddle a bit more first?

...

Sure, of course. I mean, I'm not complaining. (Laugh) Here, let me hold you tight again, get nice and comfortable. I'll just brush that little strand of hair out of your eyes… they're so beautiful, I should tell you that more often. Even when they're a little red… there's still that wonderful little glimmer in them that I could just get lost in forever.

…

Aww, that's sweet. Here, lean into me. We can cuddle as long as you want, I'm here for you. Mmm… it's been too long since we last had a good cuddle, this feels so nice. Just the two of us, wrapped up snug in each other's arms, our faces pressed right up next to each other, drifting off into dreamland together. And this time, if any monsters or anything try to get you, I'll march into your dream and beat them up. (Laugh)

Getting sleepy again? Good. Aww… you look so peaceful when you're almost asleep. Just close your eyes, and relax, and take another deep breath… focus on my voice and my warm arms around you… let it all fade away…

Sweet dreams, sweetheart.
