When you're a dream superhero, you learn that there are a lot of things you have to be careful of. From experimentation, mistakes, and what you see villains do.
There are ways to find out secrets from a person's dreams if you have enough patience. The thing about dreams is, if you can alter one thing, you only have to do it once because of how the dreams work. As long as the dreamer is aware of that one thing, the maker doesn't have to maintain it because the dreamer will take it into their dream and then things will react accordingly to the dreamer's thoughts and personality.
Thus, if you know what you're doing, you can figure out that there's a certain set of triggers that will always gain a certain reaction. Fears are some of the easiest things to find out because there are always some cliche that people will react too. Well, at least for humans. Make it dark, stormy, isolate them, stuff like that.
And once you know someone's fear, there's a lot you can do. Because fear is rarely rational, you can use just a basic illusion of it in reality and it'll usually make the person freeze up, at least for a few moments. Or you can make a persistent nightmare. One that won't stop either because they can be more cruel about it than your own subconscious or simply in the fact they can make you have it over and over again.
...I've done it to Nightmare before. Sent him to the Mental Hospital for a few weeks before he escaped. And he was the one who was using nightmares like toothpicks.
