-----------------

!Tropes for the film:
* FantasyKeepsake: Irene finds the wedding ring she put on in her dream, thus proving that it wasn't just a dream. Actually it's part of a plan to use {{Gaslighting}} her.
* NounVerber: ''The Night Walker''.
* SleepParalysisCreature: The movie has a posture showing a [[FaunsAndSatyrs satyr-like creature]] squatting on Stanwyck's chest as she sleeps. No such creature appears in the movie itself, but the image is clearly meant to be metaphorical for Irene being unable to tell where her strange dreams stop and her stranger reality begins. Sleep paralysis, however, is not a theme of the movie.
* {{Tagline}}: "Will It Dare You To Dream of Things You're Ashamed to Admit!".
