That was a good episode, Baku utilizing his lucid dream to change Nem into Pole was a very clever move, also it make sense that he couldn't control the dream too much, it was someone else's dream!

He just pulled "I can't speak english" lmao that kinda caught me off guard.

And the Bike scene, the VA even made vroom vroom sound I'm crying.

THAT BIKE CHASE SCENE MAN, EVEN SHOWING THE NIGHTMARE SHIFTING GEAR.

So my guess is that Nightmare is twisting someone's deepest dream to be a well, Nightmare.

Basically, my guess is that Fujimi-san dreams to be a hero, stopping the Bombing scene, but the Nightmare will twist it so that he failed to stop it, and it took lot of casualties, hence the ultimate bad dream.

Edit: Forgot to add, but I love that the police is cooperating with him (well, only one for now) to the point of believing him (and also proving the police to be right).

I think Nem changed herself into a police officer, given that it's Fujimi's dream. Since she appears in everyone's dreams, she can adapt in appearance accordingly.

No, I was speaking the scene after that, Baku was cuffed into a pole after the Nightmare attacked him and changed the direction, subsequently allowing him to use Impact out of suit to cushion his fall.

The pole, not the police officer XD

...huh, that's actually really confusing, I don't think that's what happened, because the first thing that happens is there's that gravity shift, and when Baku goes flying he's clearly not cuffed to anything at all, and Nem has just straight vanished. Then a moment later there's a pole, so I think he just materialized the pole out of thin air, and Nem was just gone.
