Dream Weaver: Haruto functions as this for the Witches, though his degree of control depends on the Witch he encounters. Naturally, the Dream Witch is capable of this ability in her own dimension.

Mythology Gag
 18if / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Several to the original game: The On the Next segments are styled like the level progression screens, where Lily jumps past level markers to get to the next Witch door. "Guilty Pleasure", the second stage select theme, also plays during this segment. Stray Sheep make regular appearances as plush toys, charms, and episode announcers during the after-credits sequences. The Witch of Episode 1 is the first Witch Haruto encounters in the game. She would have gone on to assist Haruto with her powers under control. Mari still runs the Succupus, though only Kanzaki visits. The song that plays on the Wizard of Oz audiobook in episode 7 is the game's title theme, "Madoromi". The Witch of Sound's house has a colorful, checkered picture resembling the game's title screen.

Adam and/or Eve
 18if / int_2b45c6e
comment
Adam and/or Eve: Eve herself is apparently the dreamer behind the real world, with the reason why conflict is so prominent being due to her belief that she cursed humanity to suffer when she partook of the Fruit of Knowledge with Adam. In the final episode, it's implied that Haruto was Adam.

Unfazed Everyman: Haruto is not exactly surprised by the fact that he is trapped in a dream world populated by witches. He just goes along what with Lily and Kanzaki tell him because there is no other alternative. The Witches also turn into these when they wake up, with a couple acting completely blase about getting help from a ghost.

Anti-Escapism Aesop: Zig-zagged. Haruto wakes several people up by telling them the Dream World doesn't compare to confronting your problems head-on in reality, like with Airi using the world to binge or Mirei living the college life she never got to have. Despite this, he's perfectly fine with others using it to escape, as he learns to see Jane's lucid dreaming as just another lifestyle, helps Mana kill off her parents' murderers in her dream, and gives Kayo the last week she always wanted. The end even inverts it, with the Witches convincing Eve not to destroy the world because she can live the life she always wanted in the dreamscape.

Shout-Out: Episode 3 might bring Date A Live to mind to some people. The protagonist, voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki, dates a superpowered girl to give her the chance to experience happiness.

Episode 9 follows suit with Haruto pretending to be a girl to get through to a traumatized Idol Singer, similar to Shido's ordeal with Miku.

Adventures In Coma Land: Played with; a good deal of Haruto's wandering through the dream world is adventuring through other people's Coma Lands to wake them up, but Haruto himself can't wake up unlike Kanzaki. It turns out Haruto was in Coma Land from the start, but that doesn't compare to the hugest Coma Land of all: Eve's coma contains the entire universe in it, and she's perfectly content to keep sleeping until Haruto started waking people up.
