"I really like the character of Nightmare and the concept that the Nightmare Realm is a dimension. [...] That's early -- that's like the first Strange tale. I think that's in the introductory episode of Doctor Strange, and I always loved that. We decided not to do that because that's a bit of a complex idea to try to introduce everything we do introduce and introduce the idea of nightmares themselves as being a dimension. I hope somewhere down the line we do get to explore that because I think that's super cool concept, " Derrickson said in an interview.
