== History ==
At some point in the early 21st century, Dreamer was a living young man named Dave who enjoyed playing video games. He died at an unknown point and under unknown circumstances and became a poltergeist.
Dreamer and Phi met fellow poltergeists [[Longshot]], [[Icer]], [[Rabies]], and [[TheGannon]], who also love to play games. As a group, they got together often to play games by possessing the living and using their bodies disposably, as if they were players inhabiting the persona of a video game character. During one such game, Dreamer was playing cops and robbers in Manhattan against Phi, on a team with the other four poltergeists in their group. As he was pursuing Phi, his brother killed the body Dreamer was using in order to evade him. Dreamer then possessed an old woman and used the time to get the mortal police involved in chasing down Phi. Once Phi had been found again by Icer, Dreamer [[Bolting|Bolted]] into the body of one of the responding police officers and went after him.
After telling [[Marks (Dreamer)|another police officer]] to engage with Phi, Dreamer caught up with him just as he killed Icer's body. Dreamer attempted to stop Phi by firing his gun at him, heedless of the casualties inflicted among the mortal onlookers. He was surprised as the other police officer then killed the body being used by Phi and approached (ignoring Dreamer's warnings), allowing Phi to possess him and run away. Dreamer continued his pursuit to the top of a building where Phi's target, Longshot, was waiting. In order to stop Phi, he tackled him off the building, causing the death of both bodies in the fall.
At this point Dreamer was out of bodies to use in the game, but Phi had one remaining. Dreamer was determined not to let his brother win yet again. He controlled the unthinking panic that poltergeists experience outside of a body in order to hold Phi back from possessing another person. This bought the rest of the team time to take Phi into custody and win the game. In the aftermath of the carnage, Phi accused Dreamer of cheating by firing his weapon into the crowd. Dreamer is adamant that this time, he beat Phi, though Phi won't admit it. After some discussion with the rest of the poltergeists, Phi challenges Dreamer to a body-jumping footrace to New Jersey. The two brothers head off, with Dreamer determined to win again.
