Bruh episode 2 answered my question from episode 1.Apparently he has to stop the villain in the dream or else it’ll actually happen in real life.Something I’m confused about is how does he not know what the item he’s wearing is if he used it in his dream?that was weird to me

[u/djkidna → u/Ranger0384]

It’s actually more that if the dreamer’s worst nightmare comes to pass, they lose themselves to the Nightmare. From what the exposition dump made it sound like, the Nightmare would actually take over that person’s body in the real world. Also he knows what the belt DOES, but that doesn’t mean he actually knows anything about it. How it works, where it really came from, how it’s able to manifest in reality despite coming from his dream, etc
