Dream, also known as Morpheus, is one of the seven Endless, Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, and Destruction, anthropomorphic personifications of metaphysical entities, blending mythology and history. It begins with Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, captured and how that changes him subsequently, an attribute he had previously not bothered himself with. It is now available in multiple volumes with various spinoffs.
