My guess is that the choice to resist the lure or to give in is about using the tadpole. Any time your character gives into temptation, Daisy gets more and more control over them in the dreams. So resisting it is not how much willpower your character has, but whether they can resist taking advantage of these new powers. Daisy cannot even enter the dreams if you stay away from the tadpole powers.
I don't remember the exact wording, but I think it says something like "you lose something you will never get back" when using the tadpole. Could be perhaps whatever is protecting your character from ending up like a brainwashed cultist. Because they are all convinced that the absolute loves them.
