Piers Anthony does a great job giving a story to Night Mare, a mare who saves Xanth from the Mundanes with her talent of delivering bad dreams.
I have read, and own, that book. Great, fun series.
That is literally the word "night-mare" though in reality comes from "Mora". I have sleep paralysis so , I even wrote this song "Nightmare" about it (and fear) https://open.spotify.com/track/78aZ275ef54AEGr38RmDEZ?si=AUKisHgATbWAL_qijzrUcA
