Forgot to mention the contract the wheel chair lunar boss makes us sign before we enter the dreamworld/matrix.

From a reddit poster

"The thought that a hunter is forced through the dream - as in, they cannot end the dream until they finish what they promised to do via their contract"

Similar intel we have in dollhouse tv series where the lunar boss have us all sign contracts before he puts us through his hell.

Jupiter ascending and latest potc movie showed though that he makes us sign the contracts with a gun on our head, blackmailing etc.

The intel that we were betrayed by a family member or someone really close to us was included in x-men apocalypse where apocalypse was betrayed by someone he trusted and was trapped sleeping/dreaming underground in a cave ever after.
