「悪魔の夢」, or "Dream of the Devil," is a concept often explored in literature and art, representing the struggle between good and evil. It typically depicts a nightmarish scenario where individuals confront their deepest fears and temptations, often personified by a devil or demonic figure. This theme can be found in various cultures and is used to illustrate moral dilemmas and the consequences of one's choices. In Japanese culture, the idea of dreams as a reflection of one's subconscious is significant. The term may also relate to specific works, such as those by Edogawa Rampo, who often incorporated psychological horror and the supernatural in his stories. Such narratives invite readers to reflect on their own inner conflicts and the nature of their desires.
