...Harry, I believe those are the nightmares anyone with your experiences would rightly have.
If you wake with a headache that is unusually severe, wake repeatedly within minutes of having fallen asleep, or find yourself having got out of bed without realising and woken across the room or in the toilet, find me immediately and I will see if you show signs of further attempted possession. If the only symptom you are experiencing are nightmares, it is likely your brain trying to process the trauma you have been through.
There are some meditation techniques that can help reduce unpleasant dreams. And in this situation, I do not believe it would be uncalled for to use a small dose of Dreamless Sleep for a day or two — no longer than that; it is not safe for extended use — to provide you with restful sleep.
Come see me before sleep tonight and I will provide you a dose, and sit with you for half an hour while you practise your Occlumency meditations. Or you can ask Draco to meditate with you; he is quite proficient by now.
