#20 on my list of the 25 Greatest Songs by @RealStevieNicks, "The Nightmare" from 1985. Written by S. Nicks & C. Nicks for the "Rock a Little" album. Most buffs would pick "Talk to Me" over "The Nightmare" but--since Stevie did not write "Talk to Me"--I feel this song is a lot more personal. I do like Stevie's rare interpretations of other writers' songs, "Talk to Me" included, but her own poetry usually holds more conviction.

Thrown down through the arms of sleep
She fell through the ivory morning
Deep into the waters of the one she called love
She paled in the wake of what some call a dream
But you cannot know a dream till you've known the nightmare
