Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams is a side job in.

Walkthrough
Right near the Cherry Blossom Market you'll find a man named Stefan proclaiming he's got one insane braindance for sale for 16,000. That said, it won't run on newer technology so you'll have to pay an additional €$4,000 to use a compatible wreath he's got in the building behind him. If you insist your wreath is fine, you can try to run it from your inventory but, as Stefan mentioned, it won't run, saying it's corrupt.

Talk to Stefan again where you can either ask for a refund or pay him the additional eddies to use his wreath. If you pay to use his, follow him into the building nearby and activate his rig. Once the braindance starts, you will pass out. When you wake up, you'll find yourself in a rather familiar location: the bathroom where you found Sandra Dorsett, though this time you're the intended victim, with Johnny wasting no time in mocking you for falling for such an obvious trick. You have no clothes or equipment, though you still have access to whatever quickhacks and cyberware you have.

Once you've dealt with the scavs however you see fit and gotten your equipment back, which can be found in a locker in the main room, it's time to pay Stefan a visit again. Head back to the market to confront him and he'll try to give a fake excuse while returning the money you paid him. Both dialogue options result in you sparing his life. However, you can draw your weapon to kill him, which will trigger another dialogue between V and Stefan, with Stefan begging for his life.
