Jack’s sleeping pose at the desk in No.45 reflects the figure in Goya’s The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. The pose is the visual connection through which I read the whole image and its message in the scene: Jack is asleep, screaming, and dreaming of killing Wendy and Danny. The visual reference and the nightmare’s content work together.

Jack slumped at the desk is read as a compositional reference to Goya’s The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. The comparison concerns the image and its theme, without asserting documented production intent.
