Recurring nightmares for the ninja and what they do afterwards

Kai
-Lloyd dies and everyone blames him and kicks him off the bounty, disowning him. Or Nya dies and the ghost of his parents haunt him telling him he's useless and it was all his fault
-He goes and trains on the deck. Nya's room is closest to his, so she hears him leave and trains with him. Then, when Kai least expects it, Nya hugs him from behind and tells him that everyone is safe thanks to him
Zane
-He arrives too late to a battle and all the ninja die, along with Sensei Wu. His father then tells him that he is a failure and says he must be scrapped as he is defective
-He gets up and cleans the kitchen. No one ever hears him except for Sensei Wu. Sensei has a conversation with him, as if cleaning the already cleaned kitchen at 3AM is normal. Eventually, Sensei gets Zane to talk about his nightmare and says "Failure is an event Zane, not a person. Failure is a part of life and it is a part of success. You, Zane, are most definitely successful. Even without the failure."
Jay
-He use to dream of all the ninja talking behind his back about how useless he is, but after Skybound he started to have a different dream. His dream would fast forward through all the events of Skybound and would play in slow motion at the points where he was tortured and at the point where Nya died in his arms
-He quickly goes and checks that everyone is sleeping, kisses Nya's head, then goes outside for a walk. Cole caught him leaving once and just walked with him. Now they take this walk regularly, where Cole does everything in his power to make Jay laugh
Cole
-His Dad disowns him and tells him how disappointed his mum would be just because he became a ninja. Then he sees a ghost of his mum telling him that she is turning in her grave, ashamed of who Cole has become
-He doesn't really train, he just hits a punching bag over and over. He gets angrier and angrier, until he eventually has to replace the punching bag with a new one. Cole can get really loud and Lloyd hears him. Lloyd forces him to sit down and talk to him. After sometime, Cole just breaks down and Lloyd hugs him till he falls asleep. (Thank goodness Lloyd has super strength, or he would never be able to lift Cole back to bed)
Lloyd
-Everything. Like, legit, everything. His brain basically has a roulette of nightmares. It could be about kidnappings, betrayal, his dad, him being lonely, his mum, the overlord. The list could go on and on
-He just sits and stares at the ceiling. He doesn't want to risk anyone hearing him leave his room so he just lays awake. However, all the ninja can tell when he's had a nightmare because he looks really tired the following day. The next day, Lloyd will get like 50 random hugs as he goes around the bounty doing his usual routine
Nya
-She has that nightmare about Jay and Kai being tortured right in front of her and she can't do anything about it. They're whipped and cut with swords. Then they are beaten till they are black and blue with bruises. Finally, the torturer slits their throats leaving a pile of blood everywhere
-Nya's dreams are very precise. She wakes up at the exact time she is supposed to get ready for training. When she does wake up, Kai and Jay are beside her armed with hugs
