5. What are the themes in the painting?
We discuss fears and the psychological effects dreaming can have on a person.  Also, that there is a sense of helplessness in the figure of the woman. She is at the mercy of the incubus and seems given to complete surrender. 
The colour palette, applied with oil paint, consists mostly of dark colours—black, deep greys, shades of brown, and blood red—with the exception of the young woman and the bed which she is laying upon, which are made up of more heavenly whites and gold tones. (Tone and Mood) woman= good
The horse could possibly be viewed as the ‘mare’ of the ‘nightmare’: more revealing is that the origins of the word mare are derived from the Old English word maere, which referred to a goblin or incubus. Another meaning of nightmare derives from mara, a Scandinavian mythological term referring to a spirit sent to torment or suffocate sleepers. The early meaning of “nightmare” included the sleeper’s experience of weight on the chest combined with sleep paralysis, dyspnea, or a feeling of dread.
