Every Name & Title Dream Has Had In The Sandman
Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) has many names and titles in The Sandman which reflects how the lord of dreams is viewed by various cultures and peoples. Netflix's The Sandman is the long-awaited adaptation of Neil Gaiman's classic DC Comics graphic novels, and Gaiman is producing the series along with Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman) and David S. Goyer (Man of Steel). The Sandman season 1 adapts the first two volumes of Gaiman's comics, Preludes and Nocturnes andThe Doll's House.
When Netflix's The Sandman begins, Dream is captured by a British mage named Roderick Burgess (Charles Dance). The self-styled Magus actually intended to capture Dream's older sister, Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), but he snagged the master of dreams instead. After being held prisoner for over a century, Dream escapes and begins a quest to rebuild his shattered realm, the Dreaming, by reacquiring the tools of his office — his ruby, his helmet, and his bag of dream sand — which were stolen from him. As the Sandman embarks on his journey, enemies old and new conspire against him. Meanwhile, the cold and aloof Dream begins to change as he gains a greater understanding of the humans whose dreams he rules over, thanks to people he encounters like Johanna Constantine (Jenna Coleman).
