In general, bad dreams are a side effect of yokai and evil spirits, but not really directly caused by them. I dont of know any yokai that specifically cause bad dreams as a main characteristic. Plenty of creatures, such as the nue, and oni, are connected with bad dreams. Kitsune have also appeared to people in dreams. However, if you are looking for a specific “bad dream yokai,” I can’t think of any that fit the bill.
