Incubus

An incubus is a nightmare. The term originates from an imaginary demon or evil spirit supposed to descend upon sleeping persons, especially one fabled to have sexual intercourse with women during their sleep.

Daniel met Nebuchadnezzar because of his ability to intepret his incubus. (Daniel 2)

Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him. (Daniel 2:1, NASB)

Note: This is an image of the statue Nebuchadnezzar dreamt of in Daniel 2.
