Morpheus

Dream (also known as Morpheus, Oneiros, or The Sandman) is a fictional anthropomorphic personification and the titular protagonist of Neil Gaiman's acclaimed comic book series The Sandman by DC Comics. [1] Who is Dream? The Endless: Dream is one of the seven Endless, a family of ancient, cosmic personifications older and greater than gods who embody fundamental aspects of existence (alongside his siblings Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium). [1, 2] Lord of the Dreaming: He rules over The Dreaming, an ever-shifting dimension where all dreams, nightmares, stories, and the collective unconscious reside. [1, 2] Appearance & Names: His appearance changes depending on who is looking at him. However, he is typically depicted as a tall, pale figure with messy dark hair and star-like or dark eyes. Across different cultures and eras, he has gone by many names, including Morpheus, Oneiros, The Sandman, and Kai'ckul. [1, 2, 3] Key Artifacts: His power is tied to three primary tools: the Helm of Dreams (made from the bone of a dead god), a pouch of dream-sand, and the Dreamstone (Ruby). Core Storyline Imprisonment and Escape: The narrative famously begins in 1916 when Dream is accidentally captured by an occultist, Roderick Burgess, who was actually trying to trap Death. Imprisoned in a glass globe for 105 years, Dream's absence wreaks havoc on the waking and sleeping worlds (causing global sleep disorders). [1, 2]
