Yes, but if the nightmarer tries to use its power, then there will be immediate suspicion on the subject of the nightmare. This makes it hard to use its ability to actually help the mafia. Also, if a specific target has a role that the mafia knows about and wants to stop that role from doing anything, then it would be much quicker to attack them. In the bodyguard scenario, if the mafia knows who the bodyguard is, they might as well kill them or send a consort for a one-night stand. One night is all they need to kill the mayor.
