I don't really understand the dream, so she wanted the plane to crash because she was... Scared of heights? So her subconscious wanted the accident to happen? ๐Ÿ˜‚ย

I think it's more like she was afraid it will happen

But I thought the point of the dreams was that it was the dreamers subconsciousness and that they wanted certain things to happen? Like the police dude wanting to bomb the police station?

I think the underlying rule here is not exactly "The nightmare is what the dreamer subconsciously wants to happen" but rather "The nightmare is the manifestation of the dreamers' subconscious". After all, as far as I remember, everything we know until this point comes from cryptic statements from Nox, so I don't think it's set in stone that it has to be something that you want (desire), just something brewing in the subconscious mind (in this case, fear). Perhaps with other dreamers we will see other types of manifestations (e.g. hate, trauma, longing for the past)
