Well, at least you all didn’t dream about that guy with the cheese.
―Buffy Summers[src]

The Cheese Man was an enigmatic figure that manifested in the dreams of the Scooby Gang.

History

Following their performance of the enjoining spell, Buffy Summers, Rupert Giles, Xander Harris, and Willow Rosenberg were collectively attacked by Sineya in their dreams. The figure of a bald man wearing glasses appeared in each of these dreams, always with cheese slices and making a single comment about them.

These comments were:

  • To Willow: “I've made a little space for the cheese slices.”
  • To Xander: “These… will not protect you.”
  • To Giles: “I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.”
  • To Buffy: (silently shakes the cheese slices, then retreats)[1]

During the First Evil’s plans to take over the Slayer line, Andrew Wells and Jonathan Levinson received various visions in a shared dream of Turok-Hans, Potentials’ deaths, and the Seal of Danzalthar. Among these flashes, images of the Cheese Man from Willow’s dreams were included.[2]
