TheWoWDBHello all,
We just wanted to clarify that this quest cannot be completed in LFR; it can only be completed on normal or higher difficulties, and this is working as intended.
Additional commentary was recently offered here:
It is intentional that the quests “In Nightmares” and “Essence of Power” cannot be completed on Raid Finder difficulty. That quest chain is intended to provide a cosmetic reward for participating in organized, non-matchmade content. As such, we wanted to keep this step in line with the previous steps in the chain, which require completing Mythic Dungeons.
This restriction is specific to this quest chain, which has a cosmetic-only reward. Other quest chains, such as “The Stuff of Dreams” from the Suramar campaign, will be completable through Raid Finder. We’ll be making some additional changes in Patch 7.1 to more clearly communicate when and where these restrictions apply.

is there a real reason for that? I mean... besides punishing people that can only do LFR because to get in normal people is QUITE elitist
You need to fly to Azurewing Repose to turn this in. It's not in the Emerald Dream.

Description
We must do what we can to ensure that the Nightmare never again festers within the Emerald Dream. The aberration known as Il'gynoth lies at the heart of the corruption - a living, writhing manifestation of the horrors you will encounter at every turn of your journey. I ask that you ensure its destruction, along with the Nightmare Lord himself... Xavius. Once the deeds have been done, bring a small piece of each to me. We can study them to figure out just how the Nightmare grew so quickly.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Wisdom of Patience
The horrors you braved in the thicket are only the beginning. Within the Emerald Nightmare you will face the very heart of the corruption that threatens the stability of all life on Azeroth. But not just yet. We have not yet managed to permeate the magic protecting Xavius' sinister realm.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Emerald Nightmare: Essence of Power
Now that we have a better understanding on the Heart's capabilities, it is time we tap into its true potential. In the Emerald Nightmare you will find creatures that should not be; monsters that defy all that the Dream stands for. All that the green flight itself stands for.
