Okay, so Nightmares...
I personally love when shows do the "dreams/greatest fears/journey to the center of the mind" shit, because it's a great way to do a character study. You can tell a lot about a character by showing a surreal visions of their dreams and nightmares - from their desires and fears to their regrets.
And this episode starts interesting. First the Master has really nice monologue to The Anointed One about fear, and even at some point he mentiones that the cross is filling him with fear. Next we have the daytime nightmare with Wendell seeing spiders, and we are to assume at first that he's deadly afraid of spiders, but then he explains that he adores them, however, as a kid, he left his collection to his brother and they died, so he feels guilty about them.
But later the nightmares are hit or miss. And I guess it's because they aren't necesserily supposed to be the characters' Greatest Fears(TM), just nightmares. So we get some pretty generic ones, like Xander being scared of clowns, Willow singing opera and Cordelia having bad hair day. Only with Buffy, Giles and Billy Palmer we get something more substantional (Buffy meeting her dad, being burried alive and coming back as vampire; Giles seeing Buffy's grave, Billy being followed by couch the Ugly Man...). And I wish we could get a proper Greatest Fear for Xander, Willow, maybe even Cordelia, because they get "joke nightmares" that don't say much about their characters (maybe aside from the fact that Cordelia thinks a lot about her social status).
Billy being in coma and causing the nightmares to manifest with his astral projection is a bit generic too, but I buy it as a plot device. Besides, The Ugly Man is an interesting mystery - we are told after Laura got beaten up that Billy is in coma because of similar beating so part of the "waking up" process will be figuring out what really happened to Billy (and later reveal and capture of the couch is quite satisfying, not gonna lie).

“ THAT WAS A FOOLISH DECISION. ” - To Riley or JD
"Yeah, I'm starting to get that!"
Running wasn't anything new to him—hell, he ran every day. Normally enjoyed it, in fact. Running for his life, though? That, JD decided, he could have happily gone the rest of his life without ever experiencing.
Seriously, this sucked.
And for what? Because he'd tried to help some people the whatever-it-was had been terrorizing? He'd thrown something at it—though he couldn't for the life of him remember what, now—shouted to catch it's attention and give the people the chance they'd needed to escape. Problem was, it'd worked a little too well.
"What the hell is that thing?!" He figured it was a fair enough question to ask, since the woman at his side apparently knew more about it than him. She hadn't even seem surprised, at the sight of it. Still, he would have to remember to apologize, later, for accidentally dragging her into this.
If they even made it out in one piece.
