On a completely normal night, a completely normal boy named Gabey went to sleep and had the most peculiar dream. He went to a white plane where a voice spoke to him. The voice belonged to a Dreamshine named Karganel who told him he was being held prisoner in a very stinky dungeon. In order to free him, Gabey would have to take on the mantle of being "Dreamshine" and learn all there is about magic, responsibility, and standing up for what is right.

Along the way Gabey meets other protectors and citizens of the Dream Realm Pathos, like the friendly guard and sidekick BeetleButt. He is taught how to control his dream powers by the powerful and respected Ayatana. And he may even be developing feelings for the very loyal and stunning Pernicon.

Each night Gabey learns more about his magic abilities in the Dream Realm, but each day he is stuck doing his chores, helping his mom around the house, and being the best big brother he can be to Teddy. Over time, however, he begins to notice curious events happening in his very own home. A leprechaun is spotted. A commercial featuring the Dream Realm, Pathos, is shown on TV. Even Happy Meal toys seem to be sharing similarities to his dreams. It's up to Gabey to find out what is going on, what it all means and how it can help him save Karganel.
