John wishes he could make a living playing music. He wishes he could spend more time with Jess, but her schedule is as crazy as his. She is a chef: he is a temp at The Company, a Silicon Valley corporation. (Hey, it’s a foot in the door of a cool place.) As a kid, he used to dream a lot -- really vivid stuff – but the meds took care of that and everything is fine until, against his instincts, he is recruited as a dreamer into XYZ, a new Company dream research group that is working on opening up the dream world (DreamTime) as a resource for all humanity. It's not what he ever saw himself doing, but it's all a dream and unreal, right? What could possibly go wrong?
