"You have nightmares all the time about it. The memory keeps coming after you when you try to sleep."
— Asuka, talking about her and Shinji's nightmares, Advice and Trust, chapter 1
Zukan: They're all dead. Eleven good Betafarlians. Do you think you'll see them in your dreams, Finn?
Finn: Not me.
Zukan: I will, if my dreams aren't already overcrowded.
Finn: You should take dream suppressants.
Zukan: [shakes head] They don't help. I see my bad dreams in other people's eyes.
Finn: Not me.

You are plagued by the past; by some guilt or sin or old ordeal that will not let you rest. What is the nature of the haunting?
Nightmarish visitations
You find no respite in sleep. When your eyes close, your nightmares climb down from their spidery loft. And if — in the morning — the crew won't meet your eye, you know you must have cried out in the night.

Moebius D: Ever... had dreams? Dreams of dying, of being slaughtered. Ah. Most people forget as soon as they wake, no harm done. But tell you what. They're all completely true.
Eunie: And so snuffing what? What if they were? The past is the past, and the present is now!
Moebius D: I wasn't finished! Dreams you see, they're little traces of intense memories from your past lives, that didn't get purged before rebirth. Little harmless bugs in the system, let's call 'em. However, not so with Moebius. Just like the runt said, when you become Moebius, in that very moment, all your past memories come rushing back to you! To put it mildly, its... it's transcendent.

"Ungh... Bad memories make the worst dreams... A genius of my caliber needs sleep to keep his brain in gear."

Nightmares can't be automatically forgotten, and you need to take 2 sleeping pills at a time to sleep.
