We’ve all had nightmares, but do any of us actually know where they come from?
What if, one day, you woke up as the embodiment of nightmares themselves?
In an alley one night, Joseph gets fatally injured after saving a woman from her terrifying nightmares.
He wakes up somehow, but he quickly finds out that he isn’t in his own body. Instead, he wakes up in the body of one of Equestria's most infamous villains.
Joseph must adapt to a world completely alien to him, as well as adjusting to his new body while trying to figure out what, or who he is.
