Going with the other meaning of the dreams theme we've been having:

Your character has just woken up from a terrible, terrible nightmare. What do they do to calm down? Do they end up going back to sleep? Bonus points if you can tell us what the nightmare was about.

Especially given her canon history, there is no way in heck Sariel goes back to sleep after a nasty nightmare. As for what she ends up doing, it depends on what woke her up i.e. whether the reason she's now awake has to do with wailing claxons and a red alert.

Wei Wuxian: Will either a) sit himself down with some paper and ink and get to inventing shit, b) get out his flute and play Sad Songs For Cultivators, or c) drink until he passes out, or some fun combination thereof. As to what he's having nightmares about... take your pick: His early childhood, his later childhood, his teenagerhood, his young adulthood, his death, Mo Xuanyu's death, the death of pretty much everyone he cares about, or some fun combination thereof. ... Boy needs therapy. So. Much. Therapy.

Klaus: Will take some of the happy pills that make the pain go away, chased down by some of whatever alcoholic beverage is within reach. As to what woke him up, pretty much any memory from his _entire ass life_ with the new exception of Dave-related memories can fill that role. The whole Dave-related thing isn't gonna last long though. Whoopsie-doodle. Boy also needs therapy, is not gonna get therapy.

Jon: He will make himself some tea, or settle down to re-read one of his favorite books. His nightmares are weird, though - recently they've started to revolve around the statements he's read to try to get them properly recorded. Why _that_ sticks in his subconscious, he has no idea.

Cecil: He will also make himself some tea, or listen to the late night radio broadcast of crickets chirping, or shoot the breeze with the Sheriff's Secret Policeman who has been taking up position in the stairwell at the end of the hall. His nightmares usually involve mirrors, and people who do not exist.
