* ''Art/MediciChapels'': {{Implied}} with "Night", as she is clearly sleeping --closed eyes and head nested in her arm--, but sports a troubled expression. We don't know what she's dreaming but it's clearly unpleasant.

* ''Series/CriminologistHimuraAndMysteryWriterArisugawa'':
** [[ReluctantPsycho Himura]] suffers from recurrent nightmares where he commits the "beautiful" murder that he's often fantasised of. The sensation of his victim's blood on his hands is so intense that he can still feel it after he's forced himself awake.
** Himura's partner, Arisugawa, has nightmares where he fails to stop Himura from falling to the dark side and committing murder, symbolised by Himura falling off a cliff while Arisugawa fails to grab him in time.
** Akemi suffers from {{Past Experience Nightmare}}s of when her uncle Shuntaro's home was set on fire and she had to watch as her uncle was burned to death. What particularly disturbs her is the image of [[spoiler:her other uncle, Yohei,]] throwing gasoline over Shuntaro while laughing maniacally; though it isn't completely true to what happened, it does come to light that she actually witnessed the culprit, rather than manifesting the nightmarish image like she'd forced herself to believe.

* ''WebAnimation/Musophobia2012'': The entire film is about an anthropomorphic elephant going through an unpleasant nightmare based around their musophobia (fear of rodents). In the nightmare, they're constantly surrounded by rodents and they running away from them in the woods, but they're still watched by said rodents and throughout the nightmare, there's flashes of intense colors and images to hammer in the horror. The elephant then encounters an ominous-looking mouse with a top hat that vomits dozens of rodents onto them, leaving them completely helpless.

People who suffer from it may be frightened of going to sleep again for fear of the horrific imagery their brain will conjure up.
