Two Worlds, One Nightmare | In Our Dreams Awake #3 – John McGuire Indie Comic Kickstarter Interview (USDN)

🎙️ USDN Podcast Interview — John McGuire: In Our Dreams Awake #3 | Dreampunk Indie Comic Kickstarter


Welcome back to the United States Department of Nerds Podcast, where we’re for the people, by the people, and of the people.


In this episode, The Chairman sits down with John McGuire, writer of In Our Dreams Awake #3 — a haunting, genre-bending dreampunk comic where two worlds collide: one ruled by magic, and one consumed by cyberpunk decay.


It’s a story that explores dreams, dual realities, and identity, asking the question: What if you could never be sure which world was real?


🌙 Episode Highlights

  • The origin and meaning of In Our Dreams Awake
  • Building dual worlds of fantasy and cyberpunk
  • Writing the emotional core of Jason Byron’s fractured reality
  • Defining “dreampunk” and how it differs from cyberpunk
  • John’s creative process and collaborations with Egg Embry
  • Lessons from running Kickstarter comic campaigns
  • How dreams influence art and storytelling
  • A special Halloween bonus on weird dreams and creative inspiration

🧠 About the Guest


John McGuire is the writer behind In Our Dreams Awake, The Gilded Age, Hollow Empire, and The Dark That Follows. A lifelong storyteller of speculative fiction, he blends sci-fi, fantasy, and philosophical mystery to explore the border between reality and imagination.


💀 About the Series


In Our Dreams Awake follows Jason Byron, a man trapped between two worlds — one mystical, one mechanical. As both realities begin to collapse, Jason must uncover which life is real… and which is only a dream.

Blending fantasy, cyberpunk, and surrealism, it’s a must-read for fans of Inception, Sandman, and Blade Runner.
