At the moment I don't think that this is unhealthy. In fact it sounds rather normal. There are a lot of anime characters I too feel make me feel safe when I'm dreaming (Nice choice by the way :) ). Night terrors are no fun when you've experienced a trauma like this, so finding something to avoid that for now is probably a good idea. I'm no expert mind.

What I would say, is don't let it get out of control. You have to do these things in moderation and eventually you need to slowly take steps away from it, when you feel strong enough, and you will slowly start to feel better without needing to do this. Otherwise you will never let go, and that's not good.

Feeling better about these things is a very time consuming process, so don't push yourself. I found out the hard way that sometimes the more you push the more damage you can do, and I'd not wish that on anyone. So as long as you find a balance between taking steps to recovery and letting yourself be comforted in the knowledge that everything will be okay you should be fine.

It is a slippery slope to mess with but you can control it. And I have every faith that you can. :)

My heart goes out to you, let me know if you ever need to talk. (Even if you just want to chat about anime. :) I'm a huge fan myself.)

Take care!
