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.
