nightmare

'bad dream' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nightmare that I've seen before include "terrible experience" , "Frightening dream" , "Horrifying experience" , "causing distress to the Lord Chancellor?" , "Scary nocturnal fantasy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Independent, The Irish Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
