Dream Hunter Rem (ドリームハンター麗夢, Dorīmu Hantā Remu) is a Japanese OVA series released from 1985 to 1992. Rem Ayanokōji is a "dream hunter", a person capable of entering the dreams of sleeping people and fighting the demons causing nightmares. The stories have their base in supernatural and standard horror, with action scenes and mystery thrown in. The pilot episode was originally animated by Aubec and released as a side project OVA which contained a short episode. Due to high popularity, the production team decided to release subsequent videos into the anime market. The pilot episode was later re-released as "Special Version", removing all pornographic scenes and adding nearly 30 minutes of new footage made by Anime R.
