* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler:Following Hercules's defeat, Shiragi Kyou has stepped forward as the new villain and deals primarily in this - he somehow fulfills the dreams of those who are hosting a Nightmare, but in the process slays the Dream Demon in question and yet somehow fixes the damage to one's dreams that this would normally cause. Those with shortsighted dreams, such as something that could be fulfilled by a singular event, seem to be almost as lost as people who lost their dreams entirely, as they now no longer have anything after which to strive. Others have come out of it surprisingly intact, but for the death of the Dream Demon.]]
** [[spoiler:Shiragi, as the new villain, seems to be specializing in inflicting this: he somehow fulfills people's dreams, at the same time killing any Dream Demon that has started to nest in them, but which has left several people feeling empty and drained after, as if now they have nothing worth striving for. Particularly harsh with Ren as he had been partnered with his Dream Demon, Quartier, and briefly forgot all about Dream Demons after Shiragi "fulfilled his dream" of restoring his collapsing family life.]]

* EvilGloating: Hercules ''loves'' to do this, since he's a LargeHam. It helps that he's strong enough to tank enemy attacks while barely breaking his train of thought.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Given his first line about the cruelty of meeting in a dream, Chris Evergreen seems to be a nightmare of this trope - a dream of meeting and falling in love only for it to collapse upon awakening, leaving nothing but a sense of unrequited longing when you remember the dream after. Though it's implied Chris felt something of the same thing in return for Mei. Fittingly, his appearance also prompts the collapse of Takateru and Yumeji's own unrequited crushes on Mei.

* GeniusLoci[=/=]EldritchLocation: Each nightmare is not only the discrete person, but their "yard" or the field that forms around them in a daydream. So John Doe is as much the empty city that he chases Yumeji through at the very beginning, and the cat warriors who fight for him, as he is the masked cat-man who does the chasing.

* HiddenAgendaVillain: Pharos Hercules draws nightmares to the waking world, brutally kills any that won't follow him, and lets his followers run wild. John Doe is trying to puzzle out his plans, questioning every revelation, even those from Hercules's right hand minions. Merry thinks Hercules is just out to cause chaos and is using the appearance of a master plan as cover to keep his foes guessing. Hercules eventually reveals his grand scheme: to [[spoiler:destroy the Gate between Dream and Reality so nightmares may be physically present in the real world, but not so he may conquer the world - but so he may crush and destroy ''everyone'', nightmares and humans both. He is a nightmare of ''fire'' after all, the signaling flame, and as a living fire all he wants is to consume and burn brighter. So technically Merry was right, but his methods were frightfully sophisticated.]]
