Hal goes to bed one night and wakes up twenty-five dreams later. The dreams involve four teachers: Ellie, Aunt Riga, Mr. D, and Professor Primo. Ellie and Aunt Riga are wise old folks. Mr. D and Professor Primo are teachers from sixth grade and college.

The play is composed of two acts, with two scenes in each act. Each teacher appears in one of the four scenes. In the first act, Hal visits the teachers and tells them what he is dreaming. His dreams involve characters who are ridiculous and involved in unlikely situations – like bank robbers who want to have sex during a hold-up, a hooker-turned-nun who now wants to pay her clients to have sex with their own wives, and a lawyer who vomits on a witness because the lying makes him sick. At the end of the first act, Hal gets abducted and experiences the oppression of a mental hospital.

In the second act, Hal is no longer free to visit teachers. He is trapped, and they visit him.

Some harsh folks visit Hal in his dreams, and some of the scenes become rather nightmarish. Luckily, he is able to escape the shackles by dreaming up outlandish, tabloidesque characters in zany situations.

Ultimately, he breaks free by waking up.

This is an odd play, with 54 characters played by a cast of five. It's difficult to make a synopsis, I think, because the plot is weird and completely character driven. It's never had a reading before, but I think and hope that Hal's dilemma, combined with the outlandish activity in his dream world, will cause the audience to nervously wish relief for him – while they laugh at what he's dreaming.
