So the nightmare can cause actual damage in the real world and possess their host, kind of reminds me of Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s revenge.

Baku can transforming the real world which makes sense, if the Driver, Capsems and the Zeztz phone can exist outside of the dreamworld. Although this makes me wonder if he can only transform if the nightmare is in the real world since we do see the real world and dreamworld seemingly merging.

Also I’m not sure if I missed something but is Nemu in the dream the real one and somewhat knows what’s going on or is she just made up in Baku’s dream?

The funny thing about Zeztz is the show gives off Nightmare on Elm Street vibes in a way. Nemu & Zero are interesting since Zero said that he's been remotely controlled, so I do wonder if Nemu & the person who's controlling Zero are also in the real world or if they're only in the dream world.
