[She finds the voice option comforting somehow; the anonymity allows her to feel less vulnerable and helpless, given the question she's posing to the people at large]

C-Can anyone recommend a good way to stop nightmares? Or at least...manage them, somehow?

[She knows magical ways to quell the disturbing dreamscapes she's been having of late, but she prefers to try something more natural. For now, at least]

Tara?

[It's disquieting to here a voice coming from the tablet, like a phone call happening with no warning. He doesn't like it but that's Tara on the other end of the distress call and he will do anything - even put up with the vagaries of the blast thing on his wrist - to assist her.]

You're having nightmares?

As a fellow nightmare-haver, I can't say that I've ever been able to stop them.

[Her nightmares, which she has every night, are of her mother becoming the Lunch Lady slasher and Cassie having to shoot her.]

I'm lucky if I wake up and I'm not screaming.

Meditation is sometimes helpful with that.

You're having bad dreams? Are there any wrackspurts in your house? If they burrow in too deeply, they can give you nightmares.

[Buffy's voice is full of concern]

You're having nightmares, Tara?

Nightmares, huh? [Dean sounds thoughtful.]

If you find out the answer, lemme know. But spending time with decent people usually helps me out, if that's any good to you.

Depends on the nightmare. What's eating at you?

[Sheppard remembers the girl as the one he talked to previously when he arrived here. The name escapes him at the moment but he'll remember it eventually.]

Hello Miss, I hope you don't find it rude that I've weighed in with an answer although I don't know you. If you would like, I could prepare a series of notes and suggestions on meditation and lucid dreaming?

There are, of course, a few simple things you could try as well: cut back on dairy and meat, especially before bedtime, plan for at least eight hours of sleep, wash your sheets with either lavender or vanilla.
