Perhaps because of his unusual constitution, Bai Heng seemed to possess resistance to memoria.
This also greatly reduced the sleep-inducing effect of the dream fluid in the Dream Pool.
He could only follow the instructions in the "Dream Entry Guide," keep his mind at peace, and wait to fall asleep naturally.

The wait before entering the dream was quite long, enough for his thoughts to wander.
