Aspects of Dream
The events of The Kindly Ones and The Wake reveal that Morpheus is only one aspect of Dream of the Endless. After his death, the human child Daniel Hall is transfigured into a new aspect of Dream, physically resembling Morpheus, but with white hair and predominantly white clothing. Such a passing and rebirth is not new to the Endless; Despair is also a second aspect. One character at Morpheus' wake, perplexed by the question of who exactly has died, is told by Abel that the purpose of the wake is to mourn "a p-p-point of view." The new Dream instructs his followers to use the name "Morpheus" only for his predecessor.

Famous quotes containing the words aspects of, aspects and/or dream:
“Grammar is a tricky, inconsistent thing. Being the backbone of speech and writing, it should, we think, be eminently logical, make perfect sense, like the human skeleton. But, of course, the skeleton is arbitrary, too. Why twelve pairs of ribs rather than eleven or thirteen? Why thirty-two teeth? It has something to do with evolution and functionalism—but only sometimes, not always. So there are aspects of grammar that make good, logical sense, and others that do not.”
—John Simon (b. 1925)
“... of all the aspects of social misery nothing is so heartbreaking as unemployment ...”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“He hath awakened from the dream of life—”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
