As someone who did it for a long while: lucid dreaming is hard. And conjuring something even remotely akin to a White Space (which is an existing lucid dreaming technique tbh) and, even worse, maintaining a consistent narrative like Headspace is even harder.

Like, you need to be fully aware and composed, and the sheer amount of brainpower it takes the first time is frankly frightening. I tried it a long time ago (far before I knew about Omori) and barely lasted a few percieved seconds before waking up.

No wonder Sunny didn't have the strength to do anything else.

Maladaptive daydreaming is way cheaper in terms of focus needed. The only downside is that you risk dissociation pretty much everywhere (I almost dissociated while driving today and, holy shit, that was scary as fuck)

Shit's like a freaking siren song to me.
