AB C. S. Lewis mentions obliquely the role of dreams in the inspiration of his fiction and says nothing about the influence of his nightmares, despite the crucial role they play in his understanding of evil and its presentation in his fiction. For Lewis, inspiration has a dark side originating in his life-long experience of nightmares.
