The series is an absurdist workplace comedy set in a run-down dream therapy facility located in a dilapidated strip mall.
Roberts uses an unconventional method: he inserts himself into those surreal dreams to guide the patient to overcoming their problem, all while being watched and monitored by his colleagues, including the claw-handed technician Randy; Ahmed, a dope-smoking nurse; the sardonic robot T.E.R.R.Y.
[5][6] Dream Corp LLC is a black comedy created by Daniel Stessen,[5] known for co-writing and directing The Gold Sparrow, an animated short film released in 2013.
Adult Swim commissioned a pilot based on Stessen's original idea for the series in May 2014,[7] ahead of the network's upfront advertising meeting.
[9] Dream Corp LLC was ordered for a full season in November 2015,[5] and the network made mention of the series in their 2016 upfront.
[2][3] The visual style of Dream Corp LLC has been described as "the degraded, retro-futurist look of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil and the underrated The Zero Theorem, while the sci-fi exists in the realm of lo-fi realism like Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
