The man is positioned horizontally on the bed, with his head towards the right side of the image and his body covered by a sheet. He appears to be sleeping or in a state of distress, with his face contorted. Above him, there are several creatures, including a large bird-like figure with outstretched wings and a demon-like figure with horns and wings. There are also other creatures around the bed, including a figure with a long tail and a figure with wings. The background of the image is a landscape with mountains and a dark sky. The entire illustration is surrounded by a border with wavy lines and text. The text includes several passages, including "With Dreams upon my bed thou scarest me & affrightest me with Visions" and "The triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment." The illustration is done in black and white, with bold lines and detailed textures. The overall mood of the image is one of fear and anxiety, with the man's distress and the presence of dark creatures creating a sense of tension.
