The Dream Dealers

2042. The Global Dream Network (GDN) promises a utopia of perfect slumber, a world free from the disruptive chaos of nightmares. Every night, millions connect, surrendering their subconscious to the GDN’s soothing algorithms. But beneath the placid surface of manufactured dreams, a rebellion simmers. Whispers circulate of the Dream Dealers, purveyors of forbidden nightmares, and their enigmatic leader, Jesse Tucker.

Elara Vance, a GDN dream content moderator, meticulously scrubs the nightmares from the collective unconscious. Yet, she is haunted by vivid, unsettling dreams of her own—fragments of a colossal, cosmic entity, a being of pure energy. A persistent anomaly in the GDN data, a discordant hum beneath the symphony of approved dreams, echoes the unease within her. Is the GDN truly the benevolent protector it claims to be?

A classified memo lands on Elara’s desk, implicating the Dream Dealers in a conspiracy that threatens the very fabric of reality. Driven by a gnawing suspicion and fueled by her cryptic nightmares, Elara plunges into the shadowy world of the dream black market. Her investigation leads her to Kathleen Warren, a hardened dream dealer haunted by the very nightmares she peddles, and her brother, Eric, a gifted coder whose dream-code shields them from the GDN's all-seeing eye.

Elara's pursuit of Jesse Tucker unravels a terrifying truth: nightmares aren't the enemy. They are humanity’s last defense against a voracious cosmic entity, the very being that haunts her dreams. The GDN, in its quest for a sanitized dreamscape, has inadvertently silenced the alarm bells meant to protect humanity, leaving the collective unconscious vulnerable to a terrifying, otherworldly hunger.

Caught between the GDN’s iron grip and the Dream Dealers’ desperate rebellion, Elara must choose a side. Will she remain a cog in the oppressive machine, or embrace the chaos of nightmares and fight for humanity’s soul? Her decision will determine not only her fate but the fate of all who dream.
