Sandman plot introduction

Parents tell their children that if they are obedient, then after they fall asleep, a person will appear and sprinkle sand into their eyes, making all their dreams come true. Wearing a mask, holding a bag of sand, and a ruby ​​hanging on his chest, these three items carried his power. When the magic weapon was taken away, he was imprisoned for a century.

In Neil Gaiman 's original work, there are seven unique beings who existed long before mortals discovered the gods. The protagonist of this play, Morpheus, is one of the seven members of the Endless Family . He is in charge of human dreams and creates fantasies and fears in dreams. He will also shape nightmares with different attributes.

However, when the master of the dream Morpheus was in a weak period, the unfettered nightmare went to the real world, participating in and affecting people's waking moments.

The content of the first four episodes of Sandman foreshadows the first four episodes of

"The Sandman". The Lord of Dreams, who builds dreams, was imprisoned because of a wrong summons from a human being. This imprisonment lasted for a century, sending away two generations of the family through glass. This century also laid out the storyline of almost the entire character in the play.

Burgess wanted to use a spell to summon the Lord of Death in exchange for his son. Unexpectedly, he met the Lord of Dreams who was in a weak stage (refer to the original content), and accidentally attracted Morpheus. Confiscated all of Morpheus's equipment, and then locked up Morpheus with a magic circle and a glass cover.

In addition to this main plot, everyone who appears in the human relationship will participate in the plot after Morpheus regains his power. The nightmare Corinthian that Morpheus prepared to punish before being caught, Burgess's partner Cripps, the child John taken away by his partner, the girl trapped in the dream after being caught because of the incubus, etc... ..

Therefore, the editor treated the first four episodes as knowing the characters, and carefully observed the male protagonist’s eyes that were filled with tears from time to time.

Sandman Highlights

After the preparation of the current four episodes, the content of the fifth and sixth episodes can be said to be quite exciting. When Morpheus began to take back his own power, he got in touch with the people of the Endless Family and connected the story lines of all the characters who appeared.

successfully retrieved the protagonist of the mask and sandbags. Only the ruby ​​left outside can restore all his power. The restrictions of the lost ruby ​​have been modified, and John took it to a restaurant. John wanted to use the power of gems to rid the world of lies, and this restaurant became his first experimental subject.

Lovers, colleagues, and strangers all began to talk in unmodified language. Gradually, they no longer had their own reservations in their hearts. They let their true thoughts go and amplified their emotions. Of course, this experiment was limited to this restaurant. Morpheus followed the clues and appeared after all the damage was done, regaining his power.

The Lord of Death who was supposed to be summoned by Burgess is Morpheus's sister. The theme of the sixth episode can also be interpreted as a day when accompanying her sister to work. Her sister is responsible for guiding everyone who leaves. After experiencing it for a day, Morpheus finally remembered every friend he had agreed to meet once every century.

The story of Morpheus and his friends has another theme: lucky people. I accidentally heard someone in the tavern imagining that he had endless life. This statement aroused Morpheus's interest, so the two made an appointment to meet here 100 years later. The two abided by their agreement and met every hundred years until Morpheus Face was captured, and his friend waited alone in the new location of the tavern for 32 years until Morpheus showed up.
