The only dreamer left in a dystopian future where dreams are illegal. Everyone must take drugs and drink drugged water to stop themselves from dreaming. The churches spread anti dream propaganda to the town, where even interacting with a dreamer leads to suicide, because if your found out, its fate worse than death. Adam is caught in a spiral of his own beliefs versus the majority, and while he still tries to encourage dreaming, he cant help but take the drugs as well. He even abuses them.
