* The Dreaming ( 1996 – 2001 ): A monthly series set in Morpheus ’ s realm, but revolving around the supporting characters with little interaction from the Endless and focused largely on Cain and Abel, who have been DC stalwarts since the late 1960s.

The Sandman Special # 1 implies that Morpheus is one and the same as the Greek deity of that name ( in DC comics continuity, another version of this god, clearly not Dream, appears in George Pérez's Wonder Woman # 11 ( December 1987 ) — what relation this figure, an old man dressed in purple vaguely resembling Agatha Harkness, has to this aspect of Dream is unclear ).

Since the creation of the Vertigo imprint ( itself largely inspired by the success of DC Comics ' increasingly mature titles such as Swamp Thing, Watchmen, Hellblazer, and The Sandman ), DC's horror / occult characters such as Morpheus have drifted progressively further away both from DC continuity and from each other.

In the course of Gaiman's story arcs, it is shown that the other DC Sandman characters were in various ways derived from Morpheus or his activities.

With a significant nod to the parable style the old man's act of saving and caring for a stray kitten saves his life when he is lost through a soft place in reality and meets Morpheus, recently released from his imprisonment ( Preludes and Nocturnes ), and still weak.

The Sandmans main character is Dream, the Lord of Dreams ( also known, to various characters throughout the series, as Morpheus, Oneiros, the Shaper, the Shaper of Form, Lord of the Dreaming, the Dream King, Dream-Sneak, Dream Cat, Murphy, Kai ' ckul, and Lord L ' Zoril ), who is essentially the anthropomorphic personification of dreams.

He mentions three by name: Morpheus ( who excels in presenting human images ), Icelos or Phobetor ( who presents images of beasts, birds and serpents ), and Phantasos ( who presents images of earth, rock, water and wood ).

He remains trapped until freed by Trinity ( assisted by Morpheus and Seraph ), who threatens the Merovingian in a Mexican standoff unless Neo is freed.

The Roman poet Ovid, however, states in his Metamorphoses that Morpheus is a son of Hypnos, rather than his brother ( it does not mention the identity of the mother ), and multiplies the Oneiroi into an uncountable host of spirits, with Morpheus, Icelus and Phantasos being merely the most prominent among them.

* In the film The Matrix ( 1999 ), Morpheus ( interpreted by Laurence Fishburne ) is the leader of a team of free humans and enables Neo to wake up from his " sleep ".

The mythical Morpheus and his family, including two brothers ( Phobetor and Phantasos ), lived in a dream world protected by the Gates of Morpheus with two monsters standing guard.

During the game events on May 26, 2005 ( as recorded on the game's official website ), Morpheus plants a code bomb in the Rumbaar water treatment facility.

We would dismiss it with some portentous words of Sir Kenelm Digby, in his observations on Browne's religio Medici: ' I have much ado to believe what he speaketh confidently ; that he is more beholding to Morpheus for learned and rational as well as pleasing dreams, than to Mercury for smart and facetious conceptions '.

The purpose of his early dreams was to reach ' Slumberland ', the realm of King Morpheus, who wanted him as a playmate for his daughter, the Princess.

In November, 2008, SCPP initiated a suit against Sourceforge. net, Vuze, Limewire, and Morpheus for hosting the P2P file-sharing application Shareaza that " facilitates mass copyright infringement ".

The first social network designed for user-generated morph examples to be posted online was Galleries by Morpheus ( morphing software ).

The end of Morpheus ' latest relationship ( later revealed to be with Thessaly from the " A Game of You " story arc ) has left the Dreaming in a rain storm, a topic for discussion for Merv Pumpkinhead, Matthew the raven, and Lucien.

These changes are demonstrated when he thanks his servants for their service, and allows Nuala to keep the pendant given to him by his recent ex-lover, though earlier Lucien had warned her Morpheus would not want any reminder to be seen in the castle.

The first half of the collection is a storyline which follows the wake for Morpheus, who died at the end of the ninth collection, The Kindly Ones.

At the start of the series, Morpheus is captured by an occult ritual and held prisoner for 70 years.

As the 10th anniversary arrived, Gaiman wrote several new stories about Morpheus and his siblings, one story for each, which were published in 2003 as the Endless Nights anthology.

It is implied that before his imprisonment he was in some ways crueler and more blind to his flaws, and much of The Sandman is focused on Morpheus ' desire to atone for his past behavior ( e. g., helping past lovers Calliope and Nada ).

Morpheus has a great pride that does not tolerate damage, examples include banishing Nada to Hell for rejecting him and being angry ( originally ) at the notion made by Hob Gadling that he seeks companionship and is lonely.

" The new Dream instructs his followers to use the name " Morpheus " only for his predecessor.

Later, however, when Dream angrily blames Desire for the whole affair, Desire offers no defense, only asking Destruction after Morpheus storms off, " Doesn't he have a sense of humor?

She does not say much, and consequently appears brusque, but her speech at Morpheus ' wake in The Wake reveals her sympathy and feeling for him.

Neo, Morpheus and Trinity visit the Merovingian and ask for the Keymaker, but the Merovingian refuses.

He is perhaps best known for his roles as Morpheus in the Matrix science fiction film trilogy, as Cowboy Curtis on the 1980s television show Pee-wee's Playhouse, and as singer-musician Ike Turner in the Tina Turner biopic What's Love Got to Do With It.

Fishburne is perhaps best known for his role as Morpheus, the hacker-mentor of Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, in the 1999 blockbuster science fiction film The Matrix.
