Nicolas Cage is The Man of Dreams in a comedy that is horror. He is a man who appears in the dreams of acquaintances, first, and thousands of strangers, later.

The plot of The Dream Man seems to have emerged from minds like those of Charlie Kaufman or Spike Jonze. But no, it is from the Norwegian Kristoffer Borgli, who achieved a Golden Globe nomination for best comedy actor for his protagonist, Nicolas Cage. The film also parodies the world of marketing and media.
