After giving it some more thought, I wonder if they couldn't have worked in both versions of the Dream visitor. What if, when being rejected by the player, Daisy doesn't return and instead we encounter the Guardian during the next vision. Would also help ease in the player to the cosmic side of this struggle, i felt a bit shellshocked by my first Guardian interaction, when i was expecting a melancholic encounter down by the river.

Edit: It could have even been a struggle between both, one representing the Emperor, one the Absolute.
