[[Nightmares]] tend to come from {{IL|Watchful}} actions, though another notable (if unreliable) source is the variety of opportunity cards about [[:Category:Dreams|recurring dreams]]. Reaching Nightmares 5 causes the appearance of a non-discardable opportunity card, [[A merry gentleman]]. Playing the card and greeting the man is a very difficult Watchful check; success [[The Walls are Right|adds a Boon]] that decreases future Nightmares gains, but [[The Walls are Wrong|adds a Burden]] that ''increases'' Nightmares build-up on a failure. In either case, the merry gentleman's card will no longer appear until [[Time, the Healer]] removes the affliction.
