Subchapter: A New Life
After reaching the hospital section of the game, you'll get out of an elevator where you have a special encounter with a guard and find yourself in a waiting room. Here, you will need Leo to walk over and turn on the TV and just sit down. The other player can walk about freely until a cutscene plays and you'll be in a dream on the moon where the achievement/trophy will unlock.
Chapter Select: Preparation - A New Life
Trophy unlocks for both players? Yes
Near the start of this chapter, you'll enter an elevator and a guard will run in along with you. You can make a choice of Vincent's way to talk your way out of it or Leo's way to knock him out. Either choice will work.
Before doing anything else, ignore the current objective of finding Carol. Do the trophy requirement by going into the waiting room. In the waiting room is a television that you can turn on. It will show an image of the first man landing on the moon. Both players need to then sit on the green couch in front of the television and after waiting for a few minutes. A brief cutscene will trigger for the player who's sitting on the left side of the couch. They will fall asleep and will be on the moon. Once you're in full control of your character on the moon, the trophy will unlock. Either player can have this dream, but it will only trigger for the character on the left of the couch.
If Vincent speaks with the receptionist to gain access to Carol’s room, then you've gone too far and will need to use Chapter Select.
Upon reaching the hospital, take the elevator up. Inside of the waiting room, you can find a tv in the corner which you will want to turn on. Once it's turned on, have both characters sit on the couch and wait for about 30 seconds. Vincent will have a dream about the moon and the trophy will unlock.
This trophy can be seen in the video guide at 13:59:
Once in the hospital, take the elevator up to the maternity ward. Once in the maternity ward waiting room you will see a TV, have the player controlling Leo turn on the TV then have both players sit on the couch across from it. After a couple of minutes Leo will drift off into a daydream about him on the moon, unlocking the trophy for both players.
Here's a visual aid:
This unlocks during the chapter ‘Preparation: A New Life’.
After getting out of the elevator at the hospital, turn left and then turn left again and you will enter a waiting room with a nurse’s station. Before speaking with the nurse, turn the TV on in the corner and have both characters sit on the couch. Whoever is on the left will doze off after about 30 seconds and will have a dream about being on the moon (mirroring what is being shown on the TV). When you have control of your character, run towards the moon lander and the achievement will unlock along the way.
Note: If you speak to the nurse before you do this, you’ve missed your opportunity and need to restart the chapter.
This achievement starts at [02:56:00] in Maka’s video walkthrough.
This trophy is made as follows:
Leo turns on the TV, sits down on the sofa and no more manipulations for him.
After this, Vincent goes to the nurse at the post and asks about his wife. The nurse opens the door for him, Vincent stops and calls Leo (Leo doesn't have to do anything). Vincent approaches Leo, a cutscene begins, after which the trophy is yours.
