Brian Anderson

Brian Anderson is the father of Jonas Anderson and Alan Anderson, and the husband of Eve. Unlike his wife and sons, he is not a lucid dreamer and knows nothing of the Dream World.

Personality and Appearance
Brian is not seen much in any feature due to his untimely death at the hands of REM. He is seen in the 3 part comic series wearing the uniform of his doorman position at the Eden Hotel, consisting of a black suit, tie and bowler hat.

He is very loving towards his sons, but also very busy with work and takes extra shifts because he "needs the money". Despite his absence around his sons, he makes sure they have enough money for food when he is working and makes sure Jonas gets home from school safely.

Graphic Novel (3 part comic series)
Brian works as a doorman at the Eden Hotel. On a rainy evening in Seattle, he stops his car after seeing Jonas walking home without an umbrella, and gives his work umbrella to his son. A couple of days later, Brian comes home to give his sons some money for food as he is going away for a few days, hearing his father in law has passed away and he and his wife must fly out to New York to attend the funeral.

Brian picks Eve up from the hotel, unaware that she has been killed in the Dream World and is now possessed by REM in the Waking World. On board the place, REM in Eve's body tells him that he will kill everyone on board in order to fuel the Poet's anger, bringing him to the Dream World for REM to possess. Brian is confused at his "wife's" behavior and can do nothing as "she" enters the cockpit and kills the pilots, crashing the plane and killing everyone on board.
