one question how is sovereign in the waking world then again it's not like nephi's know how sovereign power works. and that king dearon was free to roam like he wanted.
The implication of the gate being flipped here is a reference to how awakened and ascended are more biased towards the waking world with some affinity for the dream world. Saints are the perfect balance and sovereigns had more affinity for dream world with some for the real world. So because his affinity is stronger for the dream world, his gate looks the same as an ascended would returning to the waking world
Here is what I think Sunless should do. If he has any soul shard from the 3rd nightmare he should us them to up grade fully the Puppeteers Shroud and Add all the enchantments from the Shroud of graceless Dusk. Frankly he should have dome that a long time ago. And if he has the spare Weavers mask from Ananke he should make so the flipping the flaw ability was an activating ability not passive. And give other enchantments like water breathing, durably and the hair changing color ability.
