All right, just checking to make sure you weren't just saying that to annoy me, and I apologize for thinking you were

If it was just the nightmares alone, I'd agree with you, but when she starts to transform during the fight with Gloriosa, Midnight briefly takes over and addresses her directly saying "you'll never control me", and that alone indicates she actually has become an entity of her own, since that wasn't a nightmare. But Twilight starts to fight back, with the others cheering for her (they saw her start to turn into Midnight and heard what Midnight said), and Twilight overpowers Midnight once and for all.
