"...'Dream', aka 'Sandman, 'Morpheus', 'Oneiros', the 'Shaper', the 'Shaper of Form', 'Lord of the Dreaming', the 'Dream King', 'Dream-Sneak', the 'Cat of Dreams', 'Murphy', 'Kai'ckul' and 'Lord L'Zoril', is the anthropomorphic personification of dreams.


"In the beginning, Morpheus is captured by an occult ritual and held prisoner for 70 years.
