Welcome seeing nightmare over (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hello

'welcome' is the definition.
(both are greetings)

'nightmare over' is the wordplay.
'nightmare' becomes 'hell'.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'hell'+'o'='HELLO'

'seeing' is the link.

(Other definitions for hello that I've seen before include "A salutation" , "Look at that" , "opener?" , "Conventional word of greeting" , "glossy magazine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
