Dreyer's literary publications are to be regarded as a mixture of poetry and short prose , which are often characterized by detailed everyday considerations and subtle word games. Since 2010 he has been writing mainly literary stories. His first individual publication was published in 2007 under the title “Sixteen Strange Hours” by Edition PaperONE in Leipzig, and in 2009 his short story volume “Freizeichen” was also published there with a foreword by the musician Joachim Witt . In 2012 Dreyer switched to the publishing house michason & may , Frankfurt a. Main.

From 2005 to 2013 Dreyer organized the monthly reading series “Reading in the Klause” in Düsseldorf and was a member of the ensemble of the reading series “Sonny Wenzel & Friends”, also in Düsseldorf, until 2014. He is also the initiator, host and moderator of the literary talk "Lies, Du Sau!", Which is subsidized and supported by the cultural office of the city of Düsseldorf.

From 2007 to 2011 he was an ensemble member of the Cologne reading stage "bold & kursiv", among others together with Gerlis Zillgens , Dagmar Schönleber , Katinka Buddenkotte and Bernd Gieseking .

In January 2015 he founded together with u. a. the Düsseldorf journalist Michael Wenzel the event series "TTA - Text, Sound, Applaus", which interdisciplinary combines the arts of literature, music and drama.

Dreyer also worked with Wenzel and the photographer Thomas Stelzmann on the non-fiction book No breathing space. Music from Düsseldorf (2018). In it, the authors describe the genesis of the music history of the city of Düsseldorf, starting with the early punk musical statements around the artist's pub and the trendy meeting place Ratinger Hof in Düsseldorf's old town in the early 1970s to the latest developments in the city's music and club scene.

Dreyer works as a freelance journalist, editor (including Rheinische Post, Neue Rhein Zeitung, coolibri, now! Düsseldorfer Anzeiger am weekend and libelle) and author in Düsseldorf.
