The "glow" seems to be making the white highlights not have any detail at all in them. On the left side of the actor's face the final effect seems to remove any definition and color from the face.

There are other effects that can be used to get a "dreamlike" effects. Various color curves adjustments, pushing the blues higher, or green higher, and pulling down the magenta channel some.

  1. Make a new comp.
  2. Add your footage to the comp.
  3. Duplicate the layer.
  4. On the duplicated layer, set the layer mode type to "screen".
  5. Add a blur effect (fast blur).
  6. Vary the color, blur and transparency to get the desired effect.


Hope that helps.:D
