Plot summary
In The Speaker in Dreams, the town of Brindinford is besieged by evil forces under the command of Ghaerleth Axom. A street fair is interrupted by an attack, which serves as a distraction for the villain's forces to attack the keep of the local baron. This provides an entry point for the player characters into the main quest to discover the secret alliances trying to take over the town. The Speaker in Dreams is an event-based, rather than site-based, adventure.
Publication history

Reception
The reviewer from Pyramid commented that unlike The Sunless Citadel and The Forge of Fury, "this isn't solely a site-based encounter. That's right, there's more than just running around the dungeon this time."[1]
Dungeon Master for Dummies lists The Speaker in Dreams as one of the ten best 3rd edition adventures.[2]
