J-448: Waking Moments — Lucid Refusal and the Test of the Premise

Voyager S4E13 — An alien species that exists in a dream state invades Voyager's dreams, and Chakotay's lucid dream negotiation becomes the trap mechanism. The Dream War (ontological conflict between incompatible reality frames), Lucid Refusal (knowing you're in a dream as the precondition for control), the Test of the Premise (Janeway warp-core stand as meta-refusal), the Shared Dream Trap (coercion through collective unconsciousness), Coercive Asymmetry Reversal, and Trust at the Level of Sleep (violation of the substrate of being).
