(this reply is related to the painting the meme is based on)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_(folklore)

A mare (Old English: mære; Danish, Norwegian: mare; Swedish: mara; Polish: mara, zmora; among many others) is a malicious entity in Germanic and Slavic folklore that sits, walks, or "rides" on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on nightmares.[1]

The mare was believed to ride horses, which left them exhausted and covered in sweat by the morning.
