Anyone else and Rose probably would have rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. Or thrown a pillow at them. But people having nightmares usually didn't like to be woken up and comforted or whatever no matter how good someone's intentions were.
Or, well, Rose didn't like it. But this was Dimitri, and the vast majority of her heart that still loved him couldn't stand listening to him hurt so badly.
Nearly silently, she pushed out of her bed and moved over to his, pulling his sheet back just enough that she could slip in beside him.
Had Dimitri been awake, he might have taken issue to Rose joining him in bed, but he was failing at his old manner of stoic, motionless, restful sleep.
It would likely frighten him later to realize he hadn't woken up instantaneously when she'd moved his sheet.
Pft, he knew who she was. Subconsciously or something. That's why he didn't wake up.
Still waking him up was a bad idea. Rose so wasn't excited by the idea of getting pushed out and feeling like an idiot. She lay down next to him, wrapping her arm around him and hoping that knowing someone else was there might help the nightmare stop.

Or maybe it wouldn't have to be, considering the way he calmed when he felt her arm around him.
