Can you do "shh, you were dreaming" with idk some middle earth people??? If you feel like it? :3
Oooh yes! I’ll do smth with Glorfindel & Erestor because those two live rent-free in my head! :^)

Erestor woke up with a start. It was not often that he dreamed, not when there was peace in Imladris, but this night had been different. He could still feel his heart thundering and the fear he had felt, for the dream - no, nightmare - he had seen, had been of his own pasts, his own fears.
A hand was placed on Erestor’s chest, and Erestor felt the dread leaving him. Glorfindel, loyal Glorfindel, was there to keep him safe as he always had done.
“Shh”, Glorfindel whispered, “you were dreaming. Whatever it was, it cannot hurt you now.”
Erestor nodded. “I know”, he said, voice low, “but the memory of it still haunts me sometimes.”
Glorfindel raised an eyebrow. “Why?”
“It was the kinslaying of Sirion”, Erestor explained, “I was not there but many of my kin died during that day. I have heard too many recounts of it; that way, I have a memory of something I never experienced myself.”
“Oh.”
Erestor shook his head. “I am well, Glorfindel. It was just a dream. No matter how many I lost that day, I will reunite with them in Valinor when the time comes. We all will.”
Glorfindel smiled. “You’re right. Meanwhile, I will promise to keep you and our dear Imladris safe from any foe.”
Smiling back, Erestor nodded. “Should we attempt to sleep a bit more, my dear Glorfinder?”
“Aye, we should.”
