Sandman: How old is the hero of the Netflix series?

This is an intriguing question! How old could Dream or Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) be in Sandman? Although human in appearance, tall, pale and emaciated with a style that oscillates between gothic and emo, Dream is an anthropomorphic personification of the concept. He was born shortly after the creation of the world and the first living creatures that could dream.

So the dream is billions of years old! Like the rest of the Endless, he is somehow doomed to exist until the last living creatures in the universe die out. When no one can dream anymore, the dream thinks it will cease to exist.

However, although its existence is as long as the universe itself, the dream is not omniscient and it is far from perfect. He is a fallible being who has made mistakes before and has had enemies throughout his incredible existence.

Dream is the third member of the endless family between Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire (played by Mason Alexander Park), Despair (played by Donna Preston) and Delirium (Delirium). . In the comics, the Infinites are revealed to be children of time and night.

Since the infinities were formed shortly after the creation of the universe, they are all billions of years old. The younger Dream Siblings were born after the world’s life forms were able to cause destruction, desire, despair, or delirium.
