Bob has been through a world of hurt, and he's still living with the pain. He suffered some horrible injury. He saw his loved ones brutalized or murdered. He had to Shoot the Dog and has been living with the guilt ever since. Maybe it was even all of the above. But Bob doesn't want anyone else to know he's hurting; not him, not Bob The Stoic. He won't even say Don't You Dare Pity Me!; he would if anyone showed him pity, but his pain is too well concealed for that. He won't even suffer a Not So Stoic moment or brush off the tears that come in a rare unguarded moment with "There's Sand In My Eyes." So how do you show the readers (and sometimes the other characters) that Bob's impassive demeanor is the result of superhuman control and iron will, not a sociopath's Lack of Empathy? How do you show his breaking heart without risking Character Derailment (or interfering too much with the flow of the story)? You give Bob bad dreams. |

Watchmen: At the end of the series, Ozymandias seems perfectly content that he did the right thing, but seems to show a hint of doubt when he mentions his dream of "swimming towards a terrible...never mind", drawing a parallel between his story and the mariner of the comic-within-a-comic, in which a man commits horrible atrocities in order to save his home from attack from a dreaded ship of the damned. However, the attack never happens, and he eventually joins the ship, having ironically lost his soul through his attempts to save his village. | |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): It gets mentioned that Vivienne Graham has recurring nightmares of Ghidorah after it killed her during the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). Dr. Ilene Chen mentions in Chapter 7 that she recently had a nightmare of the moment she saw Ghidorah eat Vivienne in Antarctica (apparently not the first such nightmare, but the first she's had for a while at this point). Word of God states the Titan Thor likely had past-experience nightmares of his own during his long hibernation, which caused his calls' Brown Note to affect humans near his resting place. | |

When Diana learns her sister Donna, who wasn't there, is having the dreams too she realizes the dreams are actually being inflicted on them by Circe and hunts the witch down. | |

In Leviathan (My Hero Academia), Izuku suffers from these fairly frequently, having a particular Nightmare Sequence that he's very familiar with. It consists of him being all alone while clinging to a streetlight on a dark, foggy night as the Leviathan looks him dead in the eyes and roars. Normally, he's able to comfort himself with the fact that it was All Just a Dream. But Izuku has a different nightmare the night after Aizawa's test, in which Blade stumbles towards him as an eviscerated walking cadaver that's falling apart at the seams, as if to remind Izuku of the fact that he has killed people, before the Leviathan barrels towards Izuku and swallows him whole. It turns eerily prophetic when Izuku starts flipping through the news channels and finds that Blade has escaped custody, causing Izuku to run to the bathroom and vomit in disgust and terror. | |

Dragon Age: Grey Wardens suffer Bad Dreams after the Joining due to their new connection to the Darkspawn taint that lets them hear the Call of the Old Gods. How bad it gets varies from Warden to Warden; a rare few are almost fine, while others can have trouble sleeping their entire lives. The worst part is that this is the warm-up. After thirty years or so, the dreams get really bad, showing the taint is overcoming the Grey Warden. Rather than succumb to it, the Wardens travel to the Deep Roads to die while killing as many Darkspawn as possible. If he is romanced in Dragon Age: Inquisition, it's revealed that Cullen struggles with nightmares about his experiences during the events of Dragon Age: Origins, in which he was imprisoned and tortured by demons. The fact that he is attempting to get over the lyrium addiction which all Templars have only makes the dreams worse, as he admits to his beloved. |

In Enlightenments, Wander is plagued with nearly constant nightmares, the majority of them relating to being on the wrong end of an abusive relationship with his wife, ending up in situations where he's forced to kill children, or both. However, his dreams rarely replay the events exactly as they happened, instead combining symbolism and experiences into garbled enough imagery that Dormin can't tell what the actual events are unless Wander tells them while he's awake, despite being able to read his mind while he's sleeping. | |

Notably, even after she came to know the full nature of the events after the first game, the fact that she still has them by the second game two years later implies they won't be going away anytime in her foreseeable future. | |

The later-period episode "Dreams" consists of each of the exhausted characters falling asleep and dreaming a symbolic but horrific dream reflecting the war (except Potter, who has a really nice dream about home). In the end, as they're all talking about going to bed, Winchester quotes, "To sleep, perchance to dream"... and everyone decides that they'll have another cup of coffee, after all. | |

RWBY: Both Ruby and Yang spend Volume 4 experiencing nightmares of the trauma they each suffered at the end of Volume 3. Ruby shows very little visible sign of trauma during Volume 4, and nothing that her friends are aware of. However, she does have restless sleep with recurring dreams that wake her up in a cold sweat. She constantly dreams of the moment she arrived too late save Pyrrha. She dreams of Pyrrha dying in front of her, waking up with Pyrrha's voice still echoing in her thoughts. She only ever talks about Pyrrha once, to Oscar in Volume 5, when explaining that she she keeps going by remembering what Pyrrha fought for. She still doesn't mention the dreams, however. Yang is sidelined for the whole of Volume 4 while she learns how to deal with PTSD. She experiences dreams of the moment of her trauma that reveal to the audience just how powerless she's been left feeling. While she doesn't confide in her father, he's secretly aware of at least some of her PTSD symptoms, and keeps watch from a distance until she's ready to talk. Adam severed her arm during the Battle of Beacon. Her nightmares consist of him coming for her; she desperately tries to fight back against him only to find herself stripped of her abilities, too powerless and terrified to stop him. |

Similarly to Tubbo, his best friend Tommy also has these, having once told Ranboo that he had nightmares of Wilbur's speech suggesting they be "the bad guys" in Pogtopia, where Wilbur's mental health had taken a steep nosedive. |

When Harry is mocked by his cousin for this in Order of the Phoenix, we learn that he's been having dreams about Cedric's death. Also, Dumbledore, when tormented by Voldemort's poison/elixir in the cave at the end of Half-Blood Prince has some bad, bad recollections. Ginny whilst possessed by Riddle in Chamber of Secrets, assuming Percy was telling the truth about her having nightmares. |

The main characters from Supernatural get hit by this a few times. In Season 4, Dean spends many nights tossing over his nightmares of hell. In Season 7, Dean is once again having nightmares, this time about Castiel's death and Sam's hallucinations. Well, mostly about killing Sam's monster friend. Sam had nightmares throughout Season 1. While some were visions, the ones where he watched his girlfriend die over and over again still affected him like this. In Season 7, his hallucinations of Lucifer began as nightmares. In one episode, Bobby's nightmares are used against him by a Monster of the Week, as are Dean's. |

X-Men: Evolution: Mesmero uses his Psychic Powers to enter the minds of a bunch of X-Kids as they sleep, then he turns their dreams into nightmares, and ultimately mind rapes them into serving him. In "Ghost of a Chance", Kitty has a bizarre dream about befriending a girl named Danielle, and then she has more hallucinations/bad dreams about Danielle, including one where the mansion begins to flood and ooze slime from the walls, while a zombie-like Danielle calls for Kitty to help her. It turns out that Danielle is a mutant with psychic abilities, who had been trapped in a cave-in near where Kitty visited earlier in the episode. The dreams she was sending Kitty were messages for rescue before her body was drowned. We also get hints in the series that Danielle wasn't very popular in her hometown because she had a tendency to give other people bad dreams by mistake. Wolverine also has nightmares about the Weapon X program; the episode they appear in has some justification, though, in that his brain is being remotely messed with by the original scientist in charge of the Weapon X program. |

Homestuck: Alternian trolls as a race experience horrific nightmares and sleep in sopor slime to suppress the visions. They're implied to be caused in part by Doc Scratch. In Act 5, the Wayward Vagabond has a nightmare where he turns into Jack Noir and kills several Prospitian and Dersite soldiers, representing his guilt over not being able to save the troops he rallied from the real Jack Noir. |

Metal Gear: At the end of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Snake yells at Big Boss that he's had terrible nightmares for the last four years, and says that by killing Big Boss he can end the nightmares. Not only does this not work, it's not terribly conducive to drama when Snake's nightmares were never actually mentioned until that one scene. On the bright side, the nightmares were eventually developed into PTSD and this was used to flesh out Snake's character into something more rounded. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has a bonus scene if you save while in the prison cell which is Snake's (somewhat odd) nightmare (Snake's afraid of vampires, and Para-medic talks about Dracula after you save). The scene is actually a demo of "Guy Savage", a game that was never released. Following the dramatic wake-up you can call your support team to get some humorous conversations (like SIGINT's rather disturbing dream). In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Python mentions having nightmares every night due to the people he's killed as an assassin, which was only training for him to kill Snake. By killing Snake, he reasons the nightmares would go away. |

Many interpretations of Yume Nikki hold that the often horrific symbolism in Madotsuki's dreams was inspired by some traumatic event in her past, be it rape, death, the apocalypse, or any other number of theories and abstractions.

In The Howling (1977), Karyn often suffers nightmares about her rape, resorting to sleeping pills to get through the night without waking up screaming. It's one of the reasons her therapist recommends she get out of Los Angeles for a while to help her relax. It doesn't help much though, because now she's kept awake by creepy howling. | |

During a conversation with Rei, Shinji says they are getting so bad he is worried about Asuka. Shinji also had bad dreams after Rei blew herself up and Asuka ran away. Often he sees his Eva tearing his best friend apart, Rei exploding and Asuka killing herself while he does nothing to prevent it. |

In Joe vs. Elan School, Joe's three years under the titular Juvenile Hell's extremely abusive system have saddled him with a severe case of PSTD. A couple of the comics describing the time after Joe "gratuated" and getting out of Elan, sees him haunted by recurring nightmares where he dreams he wakes up back in his old bunkbed at Elan, convinced that everything that happened since his "gratuation" was just a dream, and that he had never escaped. Joe also relates to the reader that he would reguarily have these kinds of nightmares for about a decade after he got out of Elan. | |

Done without seeing the actual dream in Batman Beyond, when Payback calls himself Bruce's worst nightmare, and Bruce simply retorts, "You have no idea what my nightmares are like." Similarly notable in an episode of Justice League where the team was being locked inside their own nightmares. Batman, running on willpower and coffee, struggles mightily to stay awake, and when the bad guy taunts him, he says, "My brain's not a nice place to be." That Chekhov's Gun doesn't fire, though, and he takes his opponent down before passing out. | |

X-Men Film Series: Wolverine is shown to have some nasty nightmares about his experience with Weapon X. They're so terrifying that he wakes up and stabs whatever's in front of him. Or whoever, unfortunately for Rogue and Kitty Pryde. The Wolverine: Logan suffers chronic nightmares of Jean Grey, his Lost Lenore who he previously was forced to kill. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Past Charles is plagued by these, which is why he informs Erik that he takes the serum so that he can sleep at night. X-Men: Apocalypse: Jean Grey has one when Apocalypse awakens, and it's not the first (Xavier mentions to Hank that her nightmares are different this time). |

"They've Got a Secret", a first season episode of Farscape, shows a hallucinatory version of this: D'Argo is awake and walking around the ship, but is hallucinating, and thinks that the other characters are actually people from his past. They eventually realize this, and play along to get him to snap out of it. We (and his crewmates) learn about his wife and son in this way. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Season 2 opener shows that Aang has been experiencing nightmares (for what was probably the better part of a month) about his actions under the Avatar State in the previous season finale. Zuko's had some bad dreams, too, mostly having to do with his struggle to please his father and his desire to fulfill his destiny, as seen in S2 E17, "The Earth King." Season 3 has an entire episode (called "Nightmares and Daydreams") devoted to Aang's stress-induced nightmares before invading the Fire Nation. He forgoes sleep and decides to spend his days and nights training, resulting in a series of hilarious sleep-deprivation induced daydreams. Most of his so-called "nightmares" are also Played for Laughs ("Oh no, I forgot my pants and my math test!"), but at least one of them is seriously scary. |

Shows up multiple times in Chrono Crusade. Chrono is shown having nightmares both after Rizelle is killed (implying guilt for Chrono and also hinting at his [at the time] unrevealed Backstory) and in a flashback (hinting that he possibly has something like PTSD after a battle while leaving the demon's homeworld). Rosette also has a bad dream after a traumatic battle that's half-flashback and half-symbolic, which sets up the uncharacteristic despair she's in for the rest of the chapter. In the anime, Rosette has a bad dream about Joshua to foreshadow the reveal about her backstory. |

Fallout: In the Point Lookout DLC to Fallout 3, your character is exposed to hallucinogenic swamp plants, and goes on a bad head trip through the swamp; including mocking bobble-heads with inscriptions insulting you and your mother's death. Then when you wake up, it's revealed somebody cracked open your head and cut out a chunk of brain. Fallout: New Vegas gives us potential companion Craig Boone, who was forced to Shoot the Dog twice. After you gain his trust, he'll tell you that he thinks about the massacre of Bitter Springs even when he sleeps. He also states that a dream made him reconsider traveling with the Courier to the site of the massacre. |

Grisaia Series: Protagonist Yuuji is still haunted by his past in his dreams, more specifically the things he has done: Killing his own father or being made into a child soldier by a terrorist and being forced to carry out several assassinations, to name a few. Sachi suffered from night terrors that force her to relive the day her parents died before her eyes, for which she mistakenly believes her mother blamed her. Her "perfect good girl" persona is a psychological defense against them. |

Superman: In the Who Took the Super out of Superman? story arc, the Man of Steel has been gaslighted into believing he has to pick between his two identities. In order to make a decision, he spends one whole week being only Clark Kent, and every night he suffers nightmares of strolling around Metropolis with Lois, ignoring each and every disaster and plea for help. At the beginning of the Bizarrogirl storyline, which happens right after the destruction of New Krypton, Supergirl has nightly nightmares in where she fights Superwoman again, and a legion of corpses tries to drag her down to Hell. In Superboy vol. 5 Kon-El comes across a corrupted red strain of Black Mercy on a drifting spaceship which traps its victims in their worst nightmare rather than a paradise and forces him to live out a future in which he's turned villainous conqueror like his evil alternate self Black Zero. |

Eddard Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire also suffers from repeated nightmares where he relives his sister's death and the promises he had to make her. Whatever said promises actually were. Melisandre also has bad dreams and hopes that eventually her god will remove the need for sleep from her entirely. While on The Quest to find Sansa Stark, Action Girl Brienne suffers from nightmares due to a combination of guilt over her past failures, the atrocities she's witnessed and the men she's killed, and the fear created by the need to be constantly on alert against ambush, betrayal, or rape. |

In One Piece, Doflamingo continued having nightmares well into his mid-twenties reliving his experiences being tortured when he was a child by angry citizens. This experience was a result of his father denouncing the Donquixote family as Celestial Dragons, when the ordinary citizens of the country they were living in found this out they rounded them up for torture. Even up to the current story point, Doflamingo continues to loath his father for throwing away his birthright and placing them in that predicament. And even more personal, Doflamingo continued holding such hatred that he poetically named his ultimate attack "16 Sacred Bullets of the Assassin, God Thread" a mocking reference to a man who was part of the mob that tortured him claiming his sons were shot dead 16 times by Celestial Dragons. A subtle glimpse to how badly Doffy still wished his father hadn't denounced their Celestial Dragon status. | |

In Code Geass, Lelouch, Suzaku, and Nunnally all have bad dreams from their experiences as children in a war zone. Around others, they put on a mask of cheerful, ordinary high school students, but when they are alone, this shows. The show uses this to frame some flashbacks as well. | |

Robb Returns: Apart from the ones detailed in Bad Future, there's the ones shared by several Baratheons (Robert, Shireen, Gendry) where Lyanna Stark appears in the middle of a snowstorm, trying to tell Robert something, before disappearing and being replaced by one of the Others. Theon Greyjoy also has some, involving being rowed to an island made of bones by a crew of walking rotting corpses led by his dead brothers. On the island is a menacing figure heavily implied to be the Drowned God. |

In Darkest Dungeon, the Shieldbreaker class can sometimes enter a nightmare sequence after camping, where she (and somehow, the rest of the party) get ambushed by snakes in a desert. The Shieldbreaker gains a massive amount of Stress over time during the nightmare, and it ends prematurely if she becomes afflicted or enters Death's Door. Defeating the snakes earns you trinkets for the Shieldbreaker and very valuable Aegis Scales, and uncovers journal entries of her past — and how she lost her hand. Completing all seven nightmare sequences makes her conquer her nightmares and gain a buff after camping instead. | |

ALTER EGO (2018): In the true ending, Es mentions that she's being having weird, disquieting dreams. One about denying her identity and vanishing from existence and another about giving in to impulse and becoming a destroyer of worlds due to the Façade's pressure on her. Given that you can't achieve that ending without going through the ones in which such nightmares are the reality first, she's likely Dreaming of Times Gone By. | |

In Death Star, Nova Stihl, a trooper on the Death Star, was mildly Force-Sensitive. Not only did he dream of future events, but as the date before the Death Star was completed and tested came near his dreams became worse and worse, and apparently he woke up screaming pretty often. The gunner who actually fired the Death Star quickly found that Evil Feels Terrible, and he just plain couldn't sleep for guilt and horror. | |

In one of the multiple endings, Albel Nox from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is accused by the protagonist of causing him to wake up every night with his screaming from nightmares. Albel's considerable angst over his dead father is ostensibly the cause. Albel's father was a renowned and successful leader in Airyglyph's military, and he died when Albel failed the test to join the same military branch, the Dragon Brigade. This would have resulted in Albel dying in a fire, if his father didn't step in to save Albel at the cost of his own life. Even though Albel's father saved his life, Albel still got burned pretty bad and lost most or all of his left arm. | |

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!: During a nice summer day, Keith has a flashback that reveals he used to occasionally have nightmares when he slept due to the constant insults and ostracism he got from his former family. Catarina waking him up and promising to make sure she would always be there for him if he ever has any more nightmares put a stop to these. Subverted in another case. After dreaming of what the viewer would identify as a Japanese schoolgirl's grief towards the death of her best friend, Sophia cries loud enough that her maidservant comes in to check for her well-being. After explaining she had a sad dream and she was "probably remembering the past," the maidservant freezes up, suggesting Sophia was probably dreaming her ostracized past as an albino. Sophia clarifies she wasn't dreaming about that, but something much further into the past — and then puzzled as to how she can even recall the past before she was born. What she doesn't know is that she was dreaming of her past-life experience as Atsuko. |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has a bonus scene if you save while in the prison cell which is Snake's (somewhat odd) nightmare (Snake's afraid of vampires, and Para-medic talks about Dracula after you save). The scene is actually a demo of "Guy Savage", a game that was never released. Following the dramatic wake-up you can call your support team to get some humorous conversations (like SIGINT's rather disturbing dream). | |

The Punisher: A variant of this trope appears in The Punisher MAX. Frank's worst dream is actually a happy dream of an alternate future in which his family didn't go to the park and he is a grandfather who is having dinner with his wife, children, children-in-law, and grandchildren. The reason that Frank considers this a bad dream is because it painfully reminds him that his family is dead when he wakes up. | |

In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Legend of Everfree, Twilight Sparkle has recurring nightmares about Midnight Sparkle, the villain she became temporarily in the previous movie. The movie opens with one, where Midnight Sparkle shows up in her room, dissolves the whole place as well as her friends, and states that Twilight will never be free of her. She also has one during the first night at Camp Everfree, with Midnight Sparkle bursting out of the campfire. | |

The Doctor Who special The End Of Time begins with everyone on Earth having nightmares of a laughing man. In "The Next Doctor", the amnesic, possible future incarnation of the Doctor has Bad Dreams, stating that with everything a Time Lord has seen and done, of course he has Bad Dreams. The Tenth Doctor simply replies "Yeah,". Jackson Lake isn't the Doctor though. His Bad Dreams are caused by the death of his wife and kidnap of his son that he's suppressed the memory of out of grief. In the Series Five episode "Amy's Choice", the Eleventh Doctor's cheerful carefree manner is revealed to be a mask at least some of the time. This is revealed in two dreams caused by psychic pollen. Amy and Rory are also included in these dreams, so they end up seeing Eleven's inner darkness for themselves. |

In the night, someone makes Lyschko dream of wild dogs killing him. Five times, then the other boys have enough and make him sleep somewhere else. | |

Papa Smurf reveals to Empath that this dream was a memory, which leads to the revelation that Empath is Papa Smurf's only begotten son and that he was brought to Psychelia because Papa Smurf feared that Empath would be rejected by his fellow Smurfs due to his telepathic and telekinetic abilities. | |

At the end of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Snake yells at Big Boss that he's had terrible nightmares for the last four years, and says that by killing Big Boss he can end the nightmares. Not only does this not work, it's not terribly conducive to drama when Snake's nightmares were never actually mentioned until that one scene. On the bright side, the nightmares were eventually developed into PTSD and this was used to flesh out Snake's character into something more rounded. | |

Spencer Reid in Criminal Minds. In the two-parter "The Instincts" and "Memoriam'', the entire plot is driven by the fact that he is having horrible dreams that include finding a dead body behind a dryer, seeing babies at a crime scene, and being devoured by leeches (he wakes up in the middle of the night at a victim's house shouting, "Morgan, get 'em off me!", which is a huge piece of bait for shippers). He later connects these dreams to his father in "Memoriam" and the investigation is on. Earlier in the show, Rossi is haunted by nightmares relating to the Galen murders. | |

Sunless Sea also implements nightmares, which will happen if you arrive at London with very high Terror. Notably, these nightmares are a concrete thing (like having nightmares about a vast eye that never stops watching you) rather than Fallen London's vague Nightmares stat. Having restful nights at home will help in dealing when they come for you at zee, as otherwise they'll shoot up your terror rather quickly. | |

In I Wish, there's an alien species recruited as mercenaries for wars because of their abundant strength, though they in-turn only have a memory-span of 24 hours and forget everything that happened the day beforehand. It initially appears to be a case to make the continued fighting easier on them, but it turns out that continued memory of the people they have killed start off as nightmares, but become real to the species, and will end up being killed by the remnants of their deeds. | |

Wild Cards series: Croyd "The Sleeper" Crenson spends weeks awake, then weeks to months sleeping. The same nightmare returns every time unless he seeks professional help. As Croyd grows more and more paranoid with every waking day, said help is very unlikely. James "Demise" Spector has survived the Black Queen, a condition usually fatal. He is permanently experiencing death and tries to never fall asleep sober. Jay "Popinjay" Acroyd returns to the same nightmare every night. He gets better after teleporting a nightmarish Joker-Ace into said nightmare. |

In Little Busters!, both Komari and Kud's routes involve them having bad dreams. Komari's are perfectly peaceful scenes of herself with an older boy acting as her brother, but they make her quite uneasy because she doesn't have a brother and feels disappointed whenever she wakes up. Kud has the more traditional example of recurring nightmares after she hears that her home country is falling apart after a big explosion of a rocket there. In her good route the player never finds out why, but in the bad ending it's revealed that she was Dreaming of Things to Come — namely, her mother being executed. | |

At one point, Tohru has a bad dream about the day her mother left and was hit by a car and killed. The dream itself wasn't bad (just her mother bidding Tohru goodbye as she left for work), but Tohru watches while knowing what will happen and wakes up as she tries to warn her mother not to leave. |

Empowered: Basically everyone. Most of the cast is dealing with serious PTSD, with the obvious result. Emp herself has nightmares both of her father's death (he had a fatal brain aneurysm right in front of her when she was a kid) and the many, many times she's been tied up by the bad guys. Her boyfriend often hears her whimpering in her sleep. Emp's boyfriend isn't much better. He used to be a Cape Buster leading a capeless uprising until the San Antonio incident (when he missed getting killed by a newborn supervolcano by less than a mile). He lost a lot of friends during that time, but what he has the most nightmares about is Willy Pete, a "goddamn fire elemental" who raped all his remaining friends to death. Emp often hears him calling out the names of people she's never heard him mention while awake, and his greatest fear is that Willy Pete will one day find Emp herself. Ninjette is on the low end of the nightmare scale, but not for lack of a horrific backstory. Her nightmares are more about her fears of the future. Specifically, her father sending her ninja clan to capture her, cut off her hands and feet, and turn her into a breeding sow for the rest of her life. And yes, that actually is his stated goal. Mind████ was forced by her brother to cut out her own eyes and tongue in an effort to make her a better telepath (by forcing her to piggyback on other people's senses). He was stopped before he could make her deafen herself, but she still relives the event every single night, over and over and over. Worse, since she can't control her powers while asleep, these nightmares leak, and anyone nearby sees them in vivid detail. Normally she follows isolation protocols to keep others at a safe distance, but once she accidentally fell asleep in her girlfriend's arms. When they both woke up, she tried to leave, but her girlfriend insisted on her remaining. What followed was the worst night of her girlfriend's life, and she later says that she feels like it was the most heroic thing she had ever done. |

House of Anubis: Both Patricia and Alfie wound up with these in Season 1 after traumatic experiences — Alfie being trapped in the cellar, and Patricia getting kidnapped by Rufus. They eventually bonded over it and agreed to hang out more to try and stop the nightmares. Nina also got one in the beginning of the season, about how Sarah told her to "Beware the Black Bird". Patricia, who hated her at the time, used this as an opportunity to bully her some more. |

Universe Falls: In "Sock Opera", Dipper nods off during his research and has a nightmare based on the events of "Jailbreak" about Lapis Lazuli, Jasper, and Malachite. At the start of "Do It For Them", Dipper has a nightmare about Lapis, this time combined with elements of his experience being possessed by Bill Cipher in "Sock Opera". It's implied Dipper has been having nightmares about the experience ever since. "Rifts" opens with Steven wandering into another nightmare Dipper is having about being tormented by Bill. |

A Crown of Stars: Asuka has suffered recurring nightmares for sixteen years. They were pretty bad when they "only" consisted of her mother's madness and suicide, but they got worse during the Angel War and the post-TI years. However they stopped after she and Shinji started to sleep together. Shinji had frequent bad dreams, too. Often they were about the abuse Asuka was suffering at the hands of Winthrop while he was powerless to stop it and save her. |

Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible Film Series, particularly Fallout. He never tells anyone about his dreams, but they very clearly leave him shaken. The nightmare/hallucination he has in MI: 1 is particularly harrowing, because at that point he's so traumatized and sleep-deprived that he can't tell where reality ended and the dream sequence began. | |

In Tales of the Abyss, main character Luke is realistically traumatized by the first time he kills a human soldier, even though it was in self-defense. Late in the game, after much character development, Jade mentions that he knows Luke continues to wake in the night trembling from nightmares after days when they have to kill people. This seems to underscore that even when Luke was a brat at the start of the game, he still had the essential kindness toward others that he develops in more obvious ways later on. | |

Buffyverse: In addition to Dreaming of Things to Come, Buffy experiences guilt-fueled dreams about her encounter with Faith in the Season 3 finale "Graduation Day, Part 1". These dreams begin peacefully but become Bad Dreams because of Buffy's guilt. The dreams appear in episodes involving Faith after the aforementioned encounter. Likewise at the beginning of Season 3, Buffy's dreams reflect her guilt at killing a re-souled Angel in the Season 2 finale. The dreams stop after she confesses her action to Giles. Genevieve is plagued by prophetic dreams and the memories of past Slayers and their deaths. One of the reasons she wants to kill Buffy is because Roden lied and told her the dreams would end when Buffy was dead. Angel has them with such regularity, one wonders how he catches any winks without valium. Yet another downside to being undead: vampires share a Psychic Link with their kin. When a vampire he sired 100 years ago starts killing people locally, Angel feels it. In Angel Season 2, Angel starts having... erm, 'dreams' about his maker. It is later revealed that Darla is dosing him with occult herbs to drive him into a frenzy. |

In Full Metal Panic!, Sousuke is eventually shown to have nightmares concerning Kaname, along with his dead mother (who died protecting him, and told him to "fight" and "never give up"). These nightmare sequences are the only mention or thoughts he gives of his mother (as he isn't a very sentimental person), and without them, it would be made rather ambiguous whether or not Sousuke even remembered his mother (since she died when he was 3- to 4-years-old, and he was even shown going mute and repressing memories of her when he was young, and only got better with Kalinin's help). | |
