Does Dream dream? I know he aspires, and maybe hopes, but he is always awake so he does not "dream".

I know Death will seize to exist (die). Despair, Desire, and Delirium function as their names. But I think Morpheus (as well as Destiny) is just a caretaker or the governor of his realm.



AS I SAID BEFORE, I NEVER REPEAT MYSELF. Wink

Definitely doesn't sleep, so no dreaming in the strictest sense of the word. Does he "dream", as in he "dreams" of a better world? Maybe. He "dreamed" of a better Dream (Daniel) and made it happen.

Maybe he sort-of day-dreams, does that count? (If it does I'm never out of his realm)


because there's not enough time for me to fangirl over everyone in the world...

Dream is Dream. Just like Death is Death, and Desire is Desire. They don't do, they are.

but still, doesn't he have an imagination to speak of? I believe that if he has emotions (which he seems to) then he must have some imagination to speak of...

I don't think he does. Which is part of the tragic flaw of the character. He can never dream but must eternally live in other peoples dreams. I think we can see similar themse in the other endless. ie, Destiny does not have a destiny. Death cannot die. Does Desire desire? Does Despair despair?
