Nightmares and Their Significance

Seeing nightmares in dreams is generally considered a bad omen. However, for some people, remembering them is more important than forgetting them.

Visual Description

A disheveled man lies slumped on a couch in a dim, attic-like room, an overturned bottle and a toppled cup beside scattered papers. A winged, bat-like female figure with long hair perches on the couch beside him, her hand resting on his chest as she leans over him. Exposed wooden rafters and a closed cupboard sit in the background, and the scene is lit with muted, nocturnal colors. The card shows a small horizontal sword symbol in the top border and the numeral "9" at the bottom edge.
