That would only make the story weaker. I'm sure "the tell and not show" style of writing is still heavily criticized. They showed us because that was better than telling. Doing so would've eliminated any trace of nuance. We saw how happy Nick was with the results which is how we can easily draw the conclusion that he desired this even though he was resisting going through the vortex.
If Nick subconsiously thought about saving his friends, how is that made apparent to the viewing audience? Nick would never know about it, because it's not within his conscious mind, hence the word, "subconscious".

So your theory is that Nick has been on new adventures (inside a vortex) that were never shown or discussed. No wonder he was confused! Perhaps they should cover those adventures in the spin-off. (I'm just joking).
No, I have no theory because I don't know what happened once he went into the vortex.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
