In the Elizabethan era, nightmares were often attributed to supernatural causes, such as witches, demons, or malevolent spirits. Many believed that these entities could invade a person's dreams, leading to terrifying experiences. Additionally, the concept of the "mare," a mythical creature that sat on a person's chest during sleep, was thought to induce feelings of suffocation and fear, contributing to the phenomenon of nightmares. The era's limited understanding of psychology also meant that such experiences were frequently interpreted through a religious or moral lens.
