History
Nightmare had managed to catch Captain America in his dreams, in which he was never frozen and managed to live his life normally with Margaret Carter, but a Sleepwalker, one of the enemies of Nightmare, managed to make Rogers realize the deception.
Seeing his deception ruined, Nightmare appeared in front of Cap and Sleepwalker, trying to convince the former to give his real life in exchange for giving the life of his dreams. When Cap refused, Nightmare attacked him, trying to control his body, but thanks to Sleepwalker, who said to Cap he was the one in control of his dreams, Cap managed to use his willpower to wake up from his nightmare, safely.[1]Attributes
