Sweet Dreams is a side job in Cyberpunk 2077.
Walkthrough[]
Just outside Cherry Blossom Market, you will find a man named Stefan proclaiming he has one insane braindance for sale for €$16,000. You can pay him to receive the Unlabelled Braindance; however, you will have to pay an additional €$4,000 to use a compatible wreath that Stefan has in the building behind him. If you insist on trying to use your wreath, you can try to run the BD from your inventory but, as Stefan mentioned, the data will be in a older format unreadable by your BD set.
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 rapidly lose consciousness. Upon awakening, you will find yourself in a rather familiar location: the bathroom where you found Sandra Dorsett, though this time you're the intended victim. Johnny will waste no time in mocking you for falling for such an obvious trick. You will have no clothes or weapons, although you still have access to your quickhacks and cyberware.
There are about 15 scavs scattered throughout the area. Once you've dealt with them as you see fit and retrieved your equipment, 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 Stefan will try to give a fake excuse while returning the money you paid him. Both dialogue options result in you sparing his life. However, drawing and aiming your weapon at Stefan will trigger another dialogue between V and Stefan, with Stefan begging for his life.
