The Shadow World 3

This thread used to be in depression forum, but since its themes have become more fantastic horror and less personal, I think it now belongs here in general discussion.

The way to the center is a slow spiral. One passes the houses of mystery and secrets - old way stations on the frontiers of NIGHTMARE.

The Sandman is my new obsession and it haunts my daydreams.

I wonder if Sandman inspired Enter Sandman by Metallica. No results of connection between the two on regular search appeared.

Morpheus lives in a castle at the heart of his realm, "the Dreaming". Both the castle and the rest of his realm are mutable and change often, often at Morpheus' will, although his resistance to change (and difficulty changing) is a theme throughout the series. Morpheus maintains both the castle and the realm, as with all aspects of his appearance, in a half-accommodating, half-terrifying state, simultaneously acknowledging both the courtesy due to others and the attention due him as the realm's master, and indeed the pleasantness and terror of dreams themselves.
