Initially, Paul enjoys the fame, but gradually, he begins experiencing the other horrifying side of fame when people try to harm him or his family due to what he did or did not do in their dreams.

Through the dreams that Paul used to appear in, a new dream technology was later developed, which allowed for advertising in people’s subconsciousness. In one of those scenarios, Noah Centineo, who played Dylan, a dream influencer, appeared in Paul’s subconscious and even got punched, which did not affect him as he was in his dream.
