A man wakes up only to find that, rather than lazing on his couch, hes in an ancient castle in a fictional world. And top it all off, in the body of one of the world's biggest villains.
While he plans how to spend this oddly realistic dream, using what little he knows of the show to tip things in his favor, he will soon find that not everything follows the script he knows.
Will be adding tags if need br, I like the cover art I have at the moment, may change it later.
I do hope you enjoy this little brain worm of a story!
Chapters (5)
But, isn't Nightmare Moon female?
10014281
Does that somehow impact her being viewed as evil?
10014621
Well yes I understand that, but it's not a commonly used title I feel.
If it's popular enough I can change it, but I feel villain works just as well.
Wonder how long it will take before that is proven wrong
You put them all to sleep
Yeah, about that whole waking up thing
continue please ?
and I want to see the reactions of celestia, luna, disagreement (whether he has redeemed it or not) and the top six. xDD
probably pinkie would throw a party hehehehe.

Oh don't worry, I'm tidying up the chapter while I type this!
I don't know if I'll post it today, but it's nearly done.
Well, there went Nightmares obscurity. That lasted about five minutes
I admit I was expecting the whole not believing the children trope which ends up with the CMC going back into the everfree for proof but was pleasantly surprised that it was quickly overturned
That would be the sound of someone miscalculating the power of magically assisted flight

happy

well this line would be interesting and following this line when twilight and the others, were looking for them they would find nightmares, guiding them out of the forest again or giving them a talk.
It would be interesting the reaction of the six to this and nightmare to be discovered when looking sideways when one of the cmc's points the hull.
Normally, I am not too keen on possession or TG stuff, but the writing pretty much makes for it, with the Mane 6 starting out as antagonists with some secrets about the Everfree Forest, with protagonist not inertly aware/denial that he isn't actually dreaming invite so many story potential. Looking forward to see what you will come up with next in his delusions.
If you are interesting in getting your own cover art I am open for commissions, you can look at my DA gallery in the link bellow; PM me if you are ever want to talk about this further.
Good Luck

Goes up tomorrow
And what, pray tell, do you think "beaten once and for all" means, cause I don't think you really understand what you're saying/suggesting might happen
And if she knows what the elements are and see you coming at her wearing them, then it's very likely she'll just assume you're there to attacker her and go into fight or flight mode
You'll have to go to sleep first
10044022
yummy 
well, about this business of waking up dear
... I presume to have bad news
Sigh, this just makes me want more, I really like your take on the “wakes up as Nightmare” trope. Was pleasantly surprised to see it updated just as I finished another story.
Enjoying this a lot. Can't wait for future updates!
Heh, was just re-reading your stories (on the latest Bomb chapter right now), when, suddenly update!
And the penny finally drops, no my friend you are not dreaming
You're the one whose causing damage and destruction Luna
Existence
Hoof
No you chose to do that
Course not, you're sister and subjects were responsible too
I'm gonna assume this is Celestia talking
I am Celestia in his scene
Bretty gud so far.
'Ah yes, all dark colors and shark teeth, now, what sh-should I make my hair colour, I know!'" She barked out increasingly loud laughs. "I'll make it th-the most bliiindingly bright shade of pink known to the Universe! It's not like anyone will ev-ev-ev~'" She completely broke down before she could finish.
This is what I was reminded of.

Ooh now we get to interact with the public!
Hopefully (s)he's not an introvert....
This is really good so far, and I can't wait to read more of it.
continue please ?
continue please?
10095056
I will, slogging through neccisarry blah, before I can get to the fun to write parts.
10095747
ok
I hope this is soon
10098379
So do I!

One chapter in and I'm already in love with this story
This is already fun!
16 hours before elemental contact, that's gotta be an Academy record!
Snrk. Well, pink and black are nice, the glamour spell need not do much.
Keep going! ;)
I need more of this story in my life.
Hope this continues sometime.
So they aren't actually giving her a chance or letting her go, they're just keeping her a prisoner for the forseeable future and if she doesn't do what they want they get rid of her. That's pretty goddamn unfair. Why haven't they done the same to Luna? She's just as responsible and got blasted by the EoH, NMM just looks scary. Yeah, at first I was thinking they might be okay but now **** them.
Is there more?
is the story dead?
When would the next update be?
10150797
When the chapter is done being written.
This looks like an amusing story.
As amusing as it already is. I'd also ask you not to abondon your Friendship Bomb story. It's been a few months already since last update.
do you intend to continue this?
10169703
Of course?
I broke 3k on the chapter recently, which is an amazing improvement on how it was moving before.
10169736
could you post a little of what you already have as a small preview?
Update?
10175279
yes please ?
I really wish Luna and Celestia were watching her try to open the door, Celestia and Luna would probably either spend the next week trying to work out what her diabolical plan was or spend the entire week laughing.
