The Big Picture Nightmare originates from the English word "night" and the Old English word "maere," which translates to "incubus," leading to its conjugation in Middle English to describe a frightening dream. Shudder Original, Nightmare, plays on the idea of an "incubus of the night" while incorporating it into the already harrowing medical ailment, sleep paralysis.
Everything systematically spirals beyond her control, made worse when she discovers she is pregnant – not by Robby, but by the "Mare" who takes the form of Robby in her nightmares. Not ready for a child, she immediately requests an abortion but doesn't reveal this to Robby yet, believing he won't understand her decision.
Robby also reacts negatively to the news of the abortion, peeved at her neglect to inform him of her pregnancy and subsequent decision. This may be fair since he is the father and they're supposed to be a team, but he fails to question why she wouldn't confide in him. We learn that she feels voiceless in their relationship as a result of his lack of listening skills. Even moving to a new apartment was largely his decision.
