Dream
The revival of the character was due in part to the success of a later, related character created by Neil Gaiman; Dream of the Endless, whose adventures were then being published under the title of The Sandman (hence the need for a more elaborate title for the older character's adventures). Dream made numerous cameo appearances in Wesley Dodds's dreams throughout the series.
The two characters met briefly in a one-shot special, Sandman Midnight Theatre, co-written by Gaiman and Wagner.

Famous quotes containing the word dream:
“They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream—a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows—is essentially poetry.”
—Michel Leiris (1901–1990)
“America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
