Jon Kent Dreaming of Nia Nall brought her back to life
While Nia’s return is undeniably epic, the explanation for how she survived makes it even better. Dreamer confirms that the blast at the Fortress of Solitude did, in fact, tear her apart. But, as she says“You can’t kill a dream. Not if people remember it.” She explains that Superboy, Jon Kent unknowingly drew her into the dreamscape by continuing to dream about her, which allowed her to rebuild and heal in his dreams. This ability is arguably one of the most overpowered healing factor abilities in the DCU, second only to Lobo.
Now that Dreamer joins the ranks of nearly unkillable DC heroes, it’s interesting to consider how she could ever be permanently killed. Based on what we know, she can theoretically recover from anything, even total destruction, as long as someone remembers her. therefore, The key to killing her would not only be physical destruction but also erasing her from the minds of those who remember her. This means that only someone with powers like Martian Manhunter, who can manipulate or erase memories, could have a chance to actually defeat her.

At the end of Absolute power #4, fans witness Waller locked in solitary confinement, with Dreamer standing on the other side. Waller immediately refuses her imprisonment, certain that she will blackmail her way out. In a twist, Nia challenges her to name one piece of information that could be used for blackmail – only for Waller to realize she can’t retrieve anything of importance. distressed by the sudden loss, Waller blames Dreamer for erasing her mind.
However, Nia corrects her, explaining that None of her memories were erased, but instead they were – Moved. Essentially, Dreamer gave Waller a taste of her own medicine by ‘stealing’ her biggest ‘super-maker’ – her knowledge and blackmail material. Although Nia cannot specify how or where Waller’s memories were moved, it is likely that they are locked away somewhere in the Dreamscape. Already armed with precognition, energy constructs, and more, Dreamer’s new abilities—invulnerability and memory manipulation—make her one of the DCU’s most formidable heroes.
