Sandman (The Sand-man)
Morpheus
Morpheus (a.k.a. Dream Weaver)
The Sandman exists in the realm between wakefulness and sleep, a guardian of the dream world. His origins are as ancient as the first dreams, making him a timeless entity. With a mere sprinkle of his dream sand, he can transport people to fantastical landscapes or their deepest fears. The Sandman's role is dual in nature: while he brings restful dreams that offer comfort and insight, he also has the power to send nightmares as warnings or lessons. His presence is felt in every culture, known by many names but always respected as the keeper of the night. The Sandman's true purpose is to maintain the balance between the conscious and subconscious, ensuring that the realm of dreams remains a vital part of the human experience. Despite his immense power, he is a compassionate figure, understanding the profound impact his creations have on the minds and lives of those who experience them.
