Hello all, and please pardon my questions. I wasn't sure where else to go to get my question answered.

In Sandman, Volume 5, "A Game of You," there is a large monolith called the "hierogram" that bears a large inscription that appears Japanese to my eye.

Can anyone provide me with a translation of this stone? It has really been driving me nuts!

Thanks!

I think it was in the Sandman Companion (or maybe in the online Sandman annotation, I forget) they said it reads "Hieroguramu", ie, "hierogram" in the Japanese phonetic alphabet.

According to "The Sandman Companion," it is a Hierogram and says "Dreaming" in Japanese Katakana lettering.

Hope this helps . . .
