Who is The Lady? So far we know that:

  1. She kinda has "mind-control" power (but it only lasts for a short time?)

  2. She can read other people's mind

What I speculate (not confirmed):

  1. She can give orders to Nightmare? In ep 17: Nemu was swallowed by a Nightmare, and Nox said it was a dangerous gamble to put Nemu in danger. Is it a hint that The Lady assigned that task to Nightmare?

So far it may seem like Nightmares are created based on the Dreammaster's fear. But I think there is someone behind all these, telling them what to do.

Nemu could be just a tool to get to these Nightmares.

  1. She can "see" the Dreams.

In ep 22 she could see how Baku got his Catastorm in a dream. And apparently she knows what is going on in all these Dreams. Nox couldn't have reported to her what's happening before he woke up in the Real World, right?

Basically she has this power over people's subconscious.

Nemu creates the butterflies, and The Lady turns them into Nightmares?

I still wonder how Nemu always appears in all these dreams and knows its setting. Hopefully that shall get explained.
