This quickly makes the dreamscape surreal. Lucas hasn't had a nightmare since his powers manifested, so the scape fills with childish fears. Most of which the teen isn't so afraid of, but they're still from his own mind, leaving the effects perhaps not as potent as she might have hoped, but also dredging up fears long forgotten or left behind.
He shifts the dreamscape about himself as often as he can, shielding himself and trying to maintain concentration lest he be overwhelmed and lose track of the dreamers. Even once he gets there, while Jean and Xavier's nightmares may not be Lucas' fears, they're still potent, and very real here.
Sometimes worst of all, when her nightmares enter the scene, the disaster scenes she forsees are populated by his childhood traumas, and visions of Xavier's fears, and Jean's own worries of the Phoenix overwhelming her again.
Its all he can do to try and be the calm, light center in the midst of it all while his dreamself suffers assaults from all sides.
He will endure. He has to. Its a contest of wills now.
