[He doesn't fail to notice, but he also doesn't comment. The demons Hiro faces aren't something Joshua can fight for him and neither will he fight them for the teenager. They must be overcome by himself. But that doesn't mean Joshua won't give advice if asked or nudge him in the right direction.]
The easiest way is to be aware that what's going on is a dream and that anything you can imagine is possible. Grow wings to fly away from whatever's chasing you, summon fire to destroy them, whatever you wish. That's also the trickiest and least reliable state to get to. You could use the music as your anchor or reminder that you're dreaming, and imagine yourself a road leading you to the source. Your mind is at its most flexible and creative when it's dreaming, so you can literally do whatever you want once you're aware that you're dreaming, but not aware enough to wake up from the dream.
[He sighs.]
Of course, it's impossible to predict what you're going to dream from night to night, and nightmares make everything far more complicated than they need to be.
