Zombozo's nightmare
By hooking up someone up to the Nightmare Machine using electrodes, they could target nearby sleeping people and inflict nightmares upon them. The targets would all end up sharing the nightmare with each other. When operating at full capacity, the Nightmare Machine could keep its victims trapped in a nightmare forever.[1][2]
History[]
Ben 10[]
In Dreamtime, Zombozo used the Nightmare Machine to give Ben night terrors. Soon, the same happened to Gwen, leading them and Max to investigate a suspicious trailer. However, they were stopped by a local ranger, who told them to go back to bed. Sleep-deprived, the three complied, and returned to the Rustbucket. Though they attempted to stay awake, they failed, and all three experienced the same nightmares. After encountering Zombozo in their dreams, the three found out they could use their dreams against him, and soon defeated the clown. In the real world, Zombozo fled the malfunctioning Nightmare Machine before it exploded.
