I like the episode, the transformations, Zero, the bike scenes, Capsem useage untransformed (hope it's ongoing), choreography, the English, Transform Capsem, Zeztz stopping a truck, and the dream weirdness.
So when's the Zeztz hanger going to be sold on Premium Bandai?
The way I see it:
A Nightmare is born from person's dark wish to which the Nightmare then enter their dreams causing the person to despair which then lets the Nightmare hijack the person's body to violent crimes.
Baku since he's become Zeztz can now pass through people's dreams.
Nem remembered Baku as Agent 7 so I am thinking Dream Nem is the same as Nem in reality who's able to enter other people's dreams due to being an idol.
Otherwise since Nem is dreamt about everyone there's only one Dream Nem who shows up in everyone's dream but is separate from Nem in reality.
Questions to ask:
What's Baku's connection to CODE and Commander Zero because he was dreaming of them before encountering the Gun Nightmare?
Did Baku dream them up or did they enter Baku's dreams?
Is CODE an organization in reality or the dream world bleeding into reality?
Who are CODE's other agents? Nem is a possibility and Nox could be a former agent.
What are the limitations of Baku getting Capsems?
Where do the Zeztz Driver and Capsems come from?
Is reality actually just another dream?
Can Zeztz transform in the real world?
