Tomoki Okumura no longer has a girlfriend, savings, nor an apartment. Seeking to regain some of what he has lost, he answers a help wanted ad for an office assistant position, but he soon finds himself starring in gay porn. His employer, Niwa, is the jack-of-all-trades in the Dream Land company—directing, recording, editing, and sometimes standing in for other actors. Despite the stigma attached to his new line of work, Okumura is satisfied that he is making others happy. However, he wonders whether Niwa feels like his own dreams are coming true or if the once promising filmmaker would find greater fulfillment returning to the mainstream. Dreamland is a series based on a dual universe: on one side, you have the real world, and on the other, the world of dreams, imaginary and crazy. We follow the life of Terrence and his friends between those two worlds. He's a shy high-schooler who would like to seduce Lydia, a girl he's liked for a long time. But one day, his life changes completely when, during one of his nightmares, he overcomes his greatest fear: Fire. That marks the beginning of his double life as a normal high-school student during the day and the flame controller at night in Dreamland.
