梦中的恶魔,相传是睡觉时压迫人的恶魔

Editor: This is actually one of the meanings of "nightmare":
Wp ~ "Nightmare" evokes the modern word for a female horse but the terms are wholly unrelated. The word derives from the Old English "mare", a mythological demon who torments human beings with frightening dreams.
Diff:
- 夢魔 梦魔 [meng4 mo2] /nightmare/
# + 夢魔 梦魔 [meng4 mo2] /nightmare demon/
+ 夢魔 梦魔 [meng4 mo2] /night demon (malign spirit believed to plague people during sleep)/
