To begin the quest, travel over to The Abyss. In the Lifeblood Chamber, break the cracked floor using Desolate Dive to travel into a secret room. In here, you'll find Lost Adventurer. He explains that he went "too far" and stumbled off the path. The dark room to the right gives him a creepy feeling, but he wants to know what's inside. (Dream-Nailing him will give you the thought: "I need to stop being a wimp.")
Walk into the room and you will be presented with a door with a sign on it. The sign reads, "For only the fearless, hardiest adventurers: This is a realm of nightmares and sadness. Only the most powerful can open this gateway into this alternate world." To open the gate, hit it with the awoken dream nail. It will glow purple and explode, revealing a black darkness that wafts into the room. When you feel ready, head inside.
