Dream Scenario

For reasons unknown, Paul Matthews, a self-absorbed college professor who wouldn't hurt a fly, appears in other people's dreams--his dull academic doppelganger, to be precise. That's right; even perfect strangers, ignorant of the oneiric intruder's identity, suffer similar symptoms. As a result, the worldwide phenomenon thrusts the marvellous nobody into the limelight. At last, that should teach everyone a lesson; like it or not, the world will learn to love the innocuous boogeyman and appreciate his work. However, poor Paul never had the guts to follow through on his goals and ambitions--procrastination has always been his middle name. And as soon as the only thing that had made others respect Paul backfired, sheer terror replaced the fame that came so suddenly, ruining everything. After all, life is, and will always be, unfair. Now, Paul feels cancelled. But who was he trying to fool in the first place?
