I had that thought while watching as well.

Everyone got infected, so he would end up eventually jumping into someone's dream that would include him as well.

Probably his sister, because she is so concern about his bad luck anytime he tries to help someone.

And then there is Nem. I can understand her being so popular that she ends up in everyone's dream, but I suspect that there's more to it. Like, she was aware of Baku, as if she was a completely separate entity. At first, I was wondering if his lucid dreaming had anything to do with that, but wasn't too sure. I feel Baku doesn't give himself enough time between missions to question that and other things.

He's living his dream, so why question it?

I think Nem and Nox are the same, whatever they are, that's why they're paralleled in the OP.

Yeah, I had only really listened to a partial clip of the opening theme before and definitely wasn't paying attention to the lyrics at the time either. I'm not complaining about "be the GOAT" though, it's just very funny to get hit by that when you aren't expecting it.

Oh yeah, I imagine we're totally jumping in to Minami's dream at some point! For comedic effect, the Baku of her dream could be a kid, since that's how Minami sees their hierarchy.

Especially since Baku is also a Nem fan, so he's just as excited as Miyuki to have her around, even though he knows (or rather believes) she's not real.

Anything goes in a dream! Maybe the reason why we only see Nox in dreams is due to him being "Nem" in the real world, while the Nem we see in dreams is the real Nem trapped in subconscious.
