Well (having been talking to Sir Joseph), the levels halve and halve again, but it still was Level 10 when he left the Nadir. Annoying, not unsurmountable.
Judging by the image, raving still appears to be the lone descriptor for Nightmares even up to 41. At that level, perhaps the other kind of raving under an irrigo light would be appropriate.

Um, how exactly did you do that?
Good question... best guess: The catafalrique. to reach lv. 40, you'd want to go into the nadir with nightmares 9, with nightmare reducing gear (so you don't go mad prior to entry). swap to 10 by swapping to a certain hat. double your nightmares with the catafalrique, for nightmares 20. Double again, for 40, with catafalrique. If he did it this way and it properly locks at nightmares 21+, he scored the last point from wearing a nightmare-boosting gear for the picture.
This descrption assumes the nightmare doubling effect is applies to nightmare from equips, too. this may be incorrect, but the catafalrique is still faster than ramping it up 1-2 points a time in the mirror marshes.

Close, you're mostly right. The only thing that I did different was that I opened the Cave of the Nadir storylet in the Forgotten Quarter and then accepted a request from an alt to increase my Nightmares. This allowed me to have a total of Nightmares 10 before entering the Cave, which allowed me to increase it further to 20 and then 40 with the Catafalrique card. After topping it off with a Sporing Bonnet, I was able to reach 41. I think I'll try to raise it further to 43 using Cecil's advice. Thanks friend!

Oh, trust me, I know the risk. And yes, I do play. It's a mixture of taking fun risks and not caring since I have so many of the buggers. Besides, I'm in the Moon League, and I'm fairly certain that you can't steal boxes in it.

Oh noooo, you could have gotten Nightmares even higher with 2 draws of the Catafalrique (but! holy mother of spacekrabs that's an impressive number!)
Nightmares 9 (-2)
Nightmares 10 (+1)*2=20
Nightmares 21 (+1)*2=42
Nightmares 43 (+1)
Also, when leaving the Cave of the Nadir, the quartering effect couples with negative nightmare gear.

There is also the "bug but not high enough priority to fix" case of storylets that don't kick you out when they raise a menace, technically allowing you to get your menaces up as high as your patience allows. As a bug though, I'd imagine there is no associated content, other than a very tedious grind to get back to normal.
That bug was fixed! Now, if any of your menaces reach 8, they will autofire regardless of whether or not you press 'Try again' or 'Onwards'. Sitting in a storylet, not doing anything, and accept social actions will work around this though.

I know it is only tangentially related but I can confirm that as of a few minutes ago you can progress from Nightmares 20 to 21 in the Mirror Marches. (I know it's the slow, grindy, way to go mad, but as I'm exploring to see if there's content in here at high Nightmares . . . well, here I am.)
So, probably not germane to the Nadir Nightmares stuff, but we can say that there's no absolute game-wide limit in going beyond Nightmares 20 w. CP.

I can definitely attest that spamming the "Walk away from the Temple" button interspersed with a tiny amount of opportunity cards is not the most interesting way to go insane.....
In fact it's probably the dullest.
I highly don't recommend it. (Unless your point is to explore the depths of the Mirror Marches rather than be at a particular level of Nightmares, like myself.)

Does it act like Taste of Lacre with increasing past the cap if starting below? Also that only confirms you can get Implications up to 20 rather than current nightmares if you had 23 :P
Damnit, you're right, more experimentation clearly needs to be done.
Presumably, the option still operates at Nightmares 20.
Yeah, I tried that when you suggested it. It cut me off too, sadly  . Still, I'd like to see if there are other ways to boost Nightmares at such a fast rate without just repeatedly spamming a single button to boost it up.

Uh, so, the option caps at nightmares 20: http://i.imgur.com/KgEjR2X.png (nightmares were at 23, this also confirms the extraordinary implication range is 1~Current Nightmares, which is neat.

I hadn't thought of social actions, with a social action, it should be possible to reach uh, 47 with that trick (which will be the absolute max the Catafalrique can manage).
Nightmares 9 (-2)
Go inside Nadir storylet
Accept Nightmare social action, N=10
Nightmares 11 (+1)*2=22
Equip Negative nightmare gear
Nightmares 20 (-2)
Draw Catafalrique
Nightmares 23 (+1)*2=46
Nightmares 47 (+1)
