It would allow him to go in people's dreams! Which the setting can be whatever the dreamer wants, they can fill it with people with their subconscious, but they really can't go anywhere in real life. Which I realize Atroma might want to make Arthur happy by bringing it, but they wouldn't want him sleeping forever, because that would be boring for the viewers. So...
Time moves at a different pace in dreams. Five minutes in the real world equals an hour in dreams. So I propose that Atroma makes the device so it stops feeding him Somnacin at five minutes, so he can't dream more than five minutes at a time. It would definitely slow him down, since poking a million holes in yourself sucks, and I think you can get groggy from it. But also, if you'd like to make it so the device shocks him after three tries or something like that, I would also be amenable to that.
I definitely want to make it plausible that they would give it to him, so I hope those proposed changes to the device help! As for why I want it, Arthur would want to use it to test theories/keep studying dreams, as well as trying to help Syeira (bad dreams thanks to Lord of Murder, thanks bub) and other people who struggle with sleep. He wouldn't try to incept anyone or use it against their will, simply because he wouldn't get paid for it here, and it seems like a bad idea to go against the people you're fighting with.
So sorry about the long answer, but I wanted to get as much info to you as possible, and propose changes to make it more realistic for Atroma to give it to him. I hope that helps, and thank you for even considering it! c:
