    Unscheduled transmission. I have learned that your automatic memory processing and data simulation function is known as "dreaming." While I was unable to assimilate your self-described "strength of soul," extensive observation of mortal behavior has provided me insight into suitable phrases for myriad situations. Thus, in anticipation of your forthcoming sleep cycle, I bid you "good night" ...and "sweet dreams."
    The journal also basically describes all the savage encounters as daydreaming.

    I'm still not getting it. That quote is just Omega dying. I just don't see it and go "yes, this is about WoL tapping into their psyche".

    The Deltascape and Sigmascape encounters are truly described as something akin to a dream, but they're not Omega-given; instead, they're the Minstrel things up:

    Alphascape Savage is another beast. It's the only Omega Raids tier that's not a daydream or a hallucination: it's real data mixed with Omega's data.

The broadcast is interrupted by an unexpected transmission─a message from beyond oblivion. A familiar voice guides you in an unfamiliar tone, and arms you with knowledge of impossible simulations. Your evolution is at hand.
    So I think yeah, the Delta and Sigma descriptions do go into the direction of "WoL tapping into their psyche in a minstrel-induced daydream", but Alphascape, the one Omega gives you, doesn't.

    English isn't my first language, so if I'm still getting something wrong, please tell me. I don't mean to be annoying or anything, just trying to understand.

    According to Omega, data processing and simulation, for people, is "dreaming". That's what I mean when I say WoL is tapping into their own psyche to dream the encounters into being.
