Something terrible is going on behind the walls of Quibex, a pharmaceutical multinational that studies sleep disorders. A few years ago, a researcher who hadnt gotten a decent nights sleep for years went on a killing spree; today, another scientist who suffers from insomnia is tormented by terrible visions. And even Dylan, whos trying to figure out whats behind the goings-on at Qibex, cant get a wink of sleep any more But what connection is there between all this and the ancient fable of the Dream Man, the one who drops little grains of enchanted sand into sleeping childrens eyes to whisk them away to his dreamlike world?
