[RMMV] AUTO-RUN PROBLEMS

I'm creating a game and I am trying to set up an opening cutscene. Said cutscene is a dream, and originally it was just going to start with that. So I lay out the dialogue, set it to "auto-run" and then that's that...but then I play test it, and nothing happens! So then I set up a cutscene leading up to the character falling asleep, and this time it works. But then I try it again and it doesn't.
