Dream of the Endless is a fictional anthropomorphic personification who first appeared in the first issue of The Sandman, written by Neil Gaiman and published by DC Comics. One of the seven Endless, who are inconceivably powerful beings older and greater than gods, Dream is both lord and personification of all dreams and stories, and all that is not in reality (which, in turn, Dream may define by his existence).[1] He has taken many names, including Morpheus, Oneiros, Kai'ckul, and the Sandman, and his appearance can change depending on the person who is seeing him. Dream was named the sixth-greatest comic book character by Empire.[2] He was also named fifteenth in IGN's 100 Top Comic Book Heroes list.[3]
Tom Sturridge is the principal actor portraying Dream in the television series The Sandman on Netflix; Ernest Kingsley Jr. portrays him in the form of Kai'ckul, as perceived by his one-time lover Nada.
