Episode notes

This is the one that feels most like just the world of the sand man. The next three or the next two in particular are a little more fanciful. And then the last one doesn't even have dream at all. This felt the most and by the fact that you are pointing out a bunch of potential connections to other stuff in the series of the four that we're going to talk about this felt the most for lack of a better word in universe to me. There's someone who needs saving dream unleashes dream powers to teach someone a lesson. I've seen before dreams into that old testament stuff like the son of the guy who captured him. Like the dreaming can just unleash like hell

Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're working our way through Neil Gaiman's signature graphic novel series THE SANDMAN. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

In Episode 3: DREAM COUNTRY, Gaiman needed a bit of a break after the Doll's House arc, and the result was a series of one-shots that contributed bits and pieces to the series' mythology without telling one larger story. Doesn't mean there isn't a lot to talk about, though!

In Episode 4: SEASON OF MISTS, there is a plot! Specifically, a plot about the Devil retiring and giving Dream the key to Hell and a bunch of other supernatural beings pleading their case for why they should get that sweet piece of real estate. Also a little kid sees some ghosts.
