What’s it about?

Every time you go to sleep the Dream Base takes over and watches over your dreams. It’s run by the Commander and a bunch of sheep (Do you get it? Counting sheep to sleep.) whose job it is to prevent you from having nightmares in the dream-zone.

Captain Zed along with PJ and his cat patrol the dream time skies in Dreamship 12A. Their job is to foil the many attempts of The Nightmares, like Mutter and Snort, to invade children's dreams.

Zed is just one of many such patrols operating out of Dream Base, where the Commander and the Sheep are running the show, scanning the Dream Monitors for signs of sabotage and nightmares.

Zed's job would be a whole lot easier without the rivalry of a fellow agent, Captain Flannel. But Flannel is so clumsy he usually ruins his own evil plans for himself. And that means Zed can get on with the job, keeping the Nightmares at bay and your dreams safe and sound for another night.

Characters

Captain Zed

He pilots Dream Patrol 12A, which is a pillow-shaped ship powered by a feather drive. He speaks to Dream Base via the microphone that sticks out of his head.

Spring

Captain Zed’s cat, Spring, lives in the cushion that is strapped to his back. It's a very strange cat, as it goes “Woof!”…

PJ

She is Captain Zed's co-pilot and together they try to complete their missions.

The Commander

He’s in charge of Dream Base and is seen, most of the time, with a tea cup in his hand, looking concerned.

Captain Flannel

He likes to be called Captain Flann-el, but everyone else calls him Flannel. He is also part of Dream Patrol, but does not like Captain Zed because he wants to be top captain. He's a bit of a cry-baby, but is very funny to watch.

Larry

He is the head sheep at Dream Base and has access to the central console there. He contacts all of the captains to give them their orders and missions. Larry has a very dry sense of humour and mocks Captain Flannel whenever he can.

Snort

He is the leader of the two nightmares and his aim in life is to take over every child's dreams, by invading Dream Base. He has the ability to change shape and become a character in your dream. Once he’s in your dream he tries to get the other characters in there to help in his attacks on Dream Base.

Mutter

He is second in command to Snort and does all the dangerous work. He also has the ability to change shape and is a bit stupid.
