I doubt it was through an artifact, only because she was in a coma. Any Caretaker ability I would link to the Tree, to be honest. How specifically events like telepathic dreams would work, I'm not quite sure, but here's my hypothesis: If a Caretaker is unconscious, the Tree can act as a gateway for their consciousness to continue to thrive. While the body is useless, the Tree can allow the Caretaker to send messages via telepathic dreams to people of their choosing. I have no evidence to quite prove my theory, but I believe the dreamscape is a side plain of existence from what we live; not quite an alternate dimension, but not in our own world either. This can allow people to contact and talk to other people in their dreams, or share the same dream (I had that happen to me with my friend once). It's possible, in that case, that the Tree could tap into this field, either by use of its own strange power or perhaps that of a specific artifact in the Warehouse which can activate via proximity. Both theories are, of course, hypothetical. Also, the Tree won't preserve the consciousness after death, of course.
