What is The Dreamies about?

When children fall asleep, the Dreamies emerge from between the walls to paint wonderful dreams full of colour, dragons and adventure. But one night, their dream painting goes awry, and a happy dream begins to turn into a nightmare. With imagination as their guide, the Dreamies must help transform fear into something magical. A gentle, imaginative story about dreams, nightmares and finding the courage to take control of scary feelings.
